Job overview

The School seeks to appoint a teacher of Learning Skills (SEND) from January 2026. The post is for 30 hours each week (term-time only).


For the right candidate we may consider an April 2026 start date.

The Learning Skills department is an integral department at Harrow, supporting all of the academic and pastoral departments within the School. It currently consists of three masters, one learning support assistant and one administrator.

Provision for boys with SEND is led by the Head of Learning Skills (who is also the SENDCo), who manages a small team of specialist Masters within the Learning Skills department. The team works in close partnership with House Masters, division Masters, the rest of the School community and parents to ensure that boys' needs are holistically understood and met during their time at Harrow. The voice of the boys is considered integral to the provision. Colleagues within the department liaise regularly with numerous professionals, both inside and outside of the school team in order to provide boys with highly individualised, and specialist, support.

The Learning Skills department supports boys, on a 1:1 and small group basis, with study skills, revision, organisation, as well as other academic and pastoral difficulties as they arise. In addition, the department prepares boys files in readiness for applications for access arrangements at GCSE and A Level, as well as for ACT/SATs, BMAT, LNAT etc.

The candidate will ideally be a specialist assessor and will have a detailed knowledge of the JCQ regulation.

Values and vision

Harrow School believes that the success of students should not be measured purely by grades, but by their influence on the wider world.



The school believes that all organisations need strong and clearly expressed values to create identity, focus, unity and drive, and in order to answer the questions: "what do we belong to?", "what's important to us?", "why do our collective efforts matter?", and "what holds us together?".



Harrow's values of courage, honour, humility and fellowship aim to help the school to make decisions from day-to-day that mean members of its community behave and perform better. These four Values link closely to Harrow School's Christian foundation, and the principles of "Godliness and good learning" established by its founder, John Lyon.

ISI report

"Pupils are high achievers in all areas of their academic lives. Their success owes much to the strong and supportive boarding community to which they all belong and which gives the encouragement to work hard and aim high, and the confidence to set themselves ambitious goals."



"Pupils invariably work hard and utilise their strong motivation and desire to succeed, and this is one of the main drivers in their success. The strong progress they make, and their all-round excellent achievement is enabled by many innovative approaches and initiatives introduced by school leaders."
