We require a well-qualified Director of Sport to be responsible for:
the leadership, management, development and coaching of sport at Harrow;
the integration of sport into our academic and wider co-curricular programme;
promoting wide participation in and a lifelong love of sport among boys;
helping those with high sporting potential to achieve excellence.
The successful application must also be keen to contribute to the wider life of the School in a full-boarding environment.
The successful candidate will also be required to teach academic PE and Sports Science to GCSE and A level, and depending on qualifications and experience deliver GCSE Physical Education and A level Sports Science.
At Harrow we make sport fun for our boys and encourage their active and enthusiastic participation, at the same time producing highly motivated sportsmen who are good role models. As a consequence, sport is thriving at the School and we have an international reputation as a centre of sporting excellence.
Over 70 members of teaching staff, 25 Masters-in-Charge (MiC) of Sports and more than 60 professional coaches deliver our broad and diverse games programme. We offer a different main team game in each term and play a variety of other sports appropriate to the time of year. Our major sports are rugby union, football and cricket, but we are increasingly strong at athletics, swimming, tennis and squash. Fixtures take place mainly on Saturday afternoons, and our extensive and hotly contested inter-House sports programme engages boys in all 12 Houses in varied competitions.
There is a timetabled Physical Education programme for Shell boys, which runs alongside the formal games programme for all boys. Boys are also able to choose Sports Science at A level and Physical Education at GCSE, for which the uptake is particularly healthy.
