About Harrow Sport At Harrow we make sport fun for our boys and encourage their active and enthusiastic participation, while producing highly motivated sportsmen who are good role models. Sport is thriving at the School with an international reputation as a centre of sporting excellence. Many Harrovians go on to enjoy professional careers in sport.
Over 70 members of teaching staff, 25 Masters-in-Charge (MiC) of Sports and more than 60 professional coaches deliver a broad and diverse games programme. We employ a Rugby Professional, Soccer Professional and a Cricket Professional. We offer a different main team game in each term and play a variety of other sports appropriate to the time of year. Major sports are rugby union, football and cricket; increasingly strong in athletics, swimming, tennis and squash. Fixtures take place mainly on Saturday afternoons; an extensive inter-House sports programme engages boys in all 12 Houses in varied competitions. Unique occasions, such as the annual cricket match against Eton at Lord's, provide memorable highlights in our sporting calendar.
There is a timetabled Physical Education programme for Shell boys, which runs alongside the formal games programme for all boys. Boys may choose Sports Science at A level and Physical Education at GCSE. Applications will be processed as they are received, so early applications are recommended. Equality, diversity and inclusion are values important to us at Harrow. We believe in diversity of thought and actively welcome everyone regardless of background to bring their valuable and relevant skills to our community. #J-18808-Ljbffr
