Supporting Harrow

ver the past year, there have been many exciting projects to improve the fabric and facilities of the School and in this edition of Silver Arrow we highlight how these developments will enrich the lives and education not only of Harrovians but also of the community on the Hill. After three years away, it has been wonderful to hear first-hand from the boys about their diverse achievements as Harrovians. Many of our most talented boys have been able to receive a Harrow education because of bursary awards and scholarships made possible by our donors, and I continue to be struck by the extraordinary and exciting opportunities that await every boy who comes here. As a Biology beak, I am particularly pleased that this issue has a science theme, linking with our campaign to raise funds for a new science facility that will provide not only a state-of-the-art centre for Biology and Chemistry but also a hub to explore our teaching in a 21st century context. Harrow has always relied on the generous donations of Old Harrovians, friends and supporters to provide the best environment for Harrovians to live and learn in. The same is true today: none of the developments you will read about would be possible without your support and I am delighted to have this opportunity to celebrate the many ways in which your philanthropy plays a role in the life of the School. I am enduringly grateful for this tradition of giving. It is a privilege to learn, live and work at Harrow and I hope you will share the excitement and anticipation as we look forward to our 450th anniversary in 2022.

FROM THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE

s we enter a new decade, my third at Harrow, I have been reflecting on the accomplishments of the past ten years and looking ahead to the next ten. Among the many projects funded by generous donors in the 2010s were the following highlights: the opening in 2010 of Lyon’s, Harrow’s twelfth boarding house and seeing it get quickly into its stride; the completion of a ten-year Art development project in 2015 with the creation of an Art and Design & Technology hub; celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Peter Beckwith Scholarship scheme in 2017 with a successful campaign to rebuild and endow in perpetuity this prestigious bursary scheme; and not forgetting two stunning performances of Churchill Songs at the Royal Albert Hall, in 2012 and 2017, surplus proceeds from which went to increasing funding for bursary awards. Now, as we enter the 2020s and the 450th anniversary of the foundation of Harrow, many more funding priorities lie ahead. Foremost is the refurbishment of the Shepherd Churchill Dining Hall and the construction of a new, stateof-the-art centre for Chemistry and Biology: a timely addition to the estate as many more boys are gaining top grades in STEM subjects at A level, and with 40% of successful Oxbridge applicants applying to read a STEM course. The improvement of our boarding houses is an ongoing priority, enhancing the daily lives of the boys. Finally, we continue to expand the funding of our bursary awards which is enabling us to widen access to Harrow for boys from families across a spectrum of financial means. I look forward to the exciting opening years of this decade, to our 450th anniversary and to working towards the achievement of Harrow’s goals, culminating with a rousing and tumultuous celebration, once again, of Churchill Songs at the Royal Albert Hall in autumn 2022.

IMPACT REPORT 2019

THE CONTINUING CASE FOR SUPPORT The Governors have recently set an ambitious and exciting plan for the School – Plan 450. This plan requires significant investment in our buildings, new facilities, bursary funds and in teaching. School fees alone cannot finance this and we do not possess, as some schools do, a substantial endowment fund. Voluntary donations will be critical if we are to achieve our goals and secure Harrow’s future.

PLAN 450 – FOCUS ON SCIENCE

SHEPHERD CHURCHILL DINING HALL The Shepherd Churchill Dining Hall, built in 1976, was originally designed to cater for under 2,000 meals per day; it now serves over 3,000 each day. With the daily tramp of about 830 hungry Harrovians taking its toll, the dining hall is in need of attention and a £20m+ project has been approved to extend and completely refurbish the current building, including the modernisation of all kitchen and serving facilities. Subject to planning, the project is due to start in 2021, to be completed in 2023, and is being programmed such that the boys will continue to eat in the dining hall uninterrupted.

Plan 450 will be spearheaded by the construction of a new state-of-the-art science building, providing an inspiring learning environment for Biology and Chemistry. Each department will have its own floor with more laboratories. The building will also contain an energy centre and a lecture hall able to accommodate an entire year group and will play an important role in the School’s public benefit, enhancing our outreach and partnership work with local schools and the wider community.

At Harrow we aim to lead the way in STEM education, supporting the next generation faced with some of the great societal challenges and opportunities of the 21st century.

HERITAGE – DEVELOPING SCIENCE ‘…we need a Museum, a Laboratory, with two good Lecture-rooms for Physical Science, a large and well-lighted room for Drawing, and at least four good Class rooms’: alongside a new Speech Room, these were the ‘very pressing’ wants described in a letter sent in May 1871 to ‘the parents of those who are now, or have been previously, members of the school’. CAMPAIGNS FOR THE NEW SCIENCE BUILDINGS IN 1874 AND 1971 The sum required to complete them was ‘not less than £30,000’, and to raise this money and to celebrate 300 years since the founding of the School, the Lyon Memorial Fund was established. By the Tercentenary Founder’s Day one month later, the Head Master, Dr Butler, was able to announce that ‘up to the previous night £13,000 had been subscribed.’ Although over £30,000 was eventually raised, by the time the new Speech Room was opened in 1874, it had swallowed up a large proportion of the Lyon Memorial Fund. The same year, work started on the new Natural Science Schools, which was to provide accommodation for Physical Science and Chemistry. The design, by architect Charles Forster Hayward, the brother

of a Harrow Master, was for a stone building with a basement and ground floor only, to leave the views across London unobstructed. The limited funds left available, however, meant that he had to build in brick, rather than the stone of the original design,

and had to cut out all the ornamental features. When the building was opened in 1874, he had only been able to complete the rooms for Physical Science, at a cost of £6,000. The rooms for Chemistry were not added until 1914.

IMPACT REPORT 2019

In 1969, as part of the plans to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the founding of the School, work started on a new building for Physics that would be more appropriate for the study of science in the late 20th century than Hayward’s original Natural Science Schools. Described in The Harrovian of 6 March 1971 as ‘sitting gracefully squat in front of the Music Schools’, the new Physics Schools were opened by HM The Queen in February 1971. Shortly afterwards, the Quatercentenary Appeal was launched to raise £600,000. Part of the money was to go towards the cost of the newly built Physics Schools and the rest towards new form rooms for Mathematics, to be erected above the Physics Schools, as well as a golf course and improvements to various buildings. Despite the economically difficult times, on Speech Day in June 1974, the Head Master announced that the Quatercentenary Appeal had raised £583,000 and that work would start on the new Mathematics Schools. 9

BURSARIES AND SCHOLARSHIPS Harrow’s admissions policy focuses on bringing boys with a wide range of talents, abilities and backgrounds to the School. This is, in part, thanks to the School’s national and international reach, and a combination of scholarship awards for excellence in academic study, the arts or sport, and the provision of a range of means-tested bursaries. In recent years, the Harrow Development Trust has focused on several bursary initiatives: The Foundation Awards Fund, the Peter Beckwith Scholarship Scheme, Sir John Beckwith Outstanding Talent Awards, Sherwood Awards and Kane Sixth Form Scholarships. Looking forward, we have plans to expand considerably the School’s bursary provision to accommodate a greater diversity of awards, including support for middle-income families.

CHURCHILL PLACES In 2020, we are establishing Churchill Places, a new bursary scheme which will offer boys requiring financial assistance and who demonstrate ‘Churchillian’ characteristics; leadership, tenacity, determination, the opportunity of a Harrow education. The HDT aims to raise £10m for this exciting scheme by 2025, which will fund five Churchill Places per year. The identification of suitable candidates will be supported by the appointment of a new Access Officer.

IMPACT REPORT 2019

Musa Ali (Moretons 20173) joined the Sixth Form in 2017 as a recipient of the Kane Family Award, which funds for a Sixth Form candidate from the London Borough of Harrow. In 2019, he led the 1st XI to a four-wicket victory at Lord’s. This award is just one of several named bursaries supported by individual donors to Harrow.

Getting a bursary to Harrow gave me opportunities that I could have hardly dreamt of a year before. The tight-knit community on the Hill allowed me to create lifelong bonds with both my peers and teachers alike. Travelling to Namibia for a conservation expedition gave me a whole new perspective on the world, encapsulating the ‘beyond the classroom’ mantra which makes spending time at Harrow enriching and enjoyable. Captaining a side to victory at Lord’s is something many international captains cannot claim and so I am extremely grateful to have been fortunate enough to have led my team through The Long Room for such a historic fixture. The image of both the team and coaching staff celebrating on the balcony is one that will be forever engrained in my memory. I am currently on my gap year and am looking forward to studying both Arabic and Turkish from scratch next year at Oxford. My time at Harrow has given me the skills and confidence to tackle and solve problems that I may face in the future, whatever they may be.”

THE CHANGING OF THE GUARD In 2019, Matthew Fosh (The Head Master’s 19712) retired as Chairman of the HDT after ten years, handing over to Jim Glover (Rendalls 19783), who takes us forward into the next ten. What have been your motivations for supporting the work of the HDT?

Matthew: Generations of old boys, parents and friends of the School have done what they can in many different ways to build and make stronger this great School. As Chairman of the HDT it has been my way of trying to do just that, as a representative of the 1970s’ generation. You took over as Chairman in 2019, what are your reasons for taking on the role?

Jim: Having been privileged to have been asked to be a Governor, it was not long before I realised how important a role the HDT plays in the funding of significant projects around the School. It also plays an equally important role in providing funds for our bursary programme and so it felt like a place where I could play a positive role. What have been the highlights during your tenure as Chairman?

Matthew: As always with a team effort, it’s all about the people. Watching the HDT team achieving its goals and then seeing the boys benefit so richly from those goals, has been reward beyond measure. You are becoming Chairman at an exciting time for Harrow, as we prepare to celebrate, in 2022, 450 years since the foundation of the School. What are you most looking forward to in your role?

Jim: There is a talented team of people who work for the HDT and first and foremost I am looking forward to working with them towards some very ambitious targets over the next few years. The 450th anniversary of the School gives us a great reason for some extra-special events and for opportunities for people who care about Harrow to make their own

contributions to the celebrations; current parents, the Harrow School community of teachers and nonteaching staff, Old Harrovians and former parents. There will be opportunities for all those people to celebrate this significant milestone, and we hope to persuade as many of them as possible to help us with our ambitious plans for the future.

programme across year groups both inside and outside the House system. As you progress through the different year groups, these bonds become stronger and more cohesive so that, by the time you leave, these relationships are extremely strong and, in some cases, last a lifetime. Friendship and loyalty were and still are hugely important to me.

What is your favourite Harrow Song?

How has Harrow changed since your time here as a boy, since the time your sons were here and, Matthew, even in the ten years you have been Chairman of the HDT?

Matthew: I must confess that my total favourite is Five Hundred Faces. By the time one is in the Removes, one is already far too cool for the song’s wondrous sentimentality, but as the years have gone on, ‘Yet, as the years go by...’ I have found it simply too delicious to resist: hankies regularly required. Jim: Silver Arrow, which, although relatively short, seems to have a rather impressive way of bringing to life some simple but hugely important themes. Hope, history, teamwork, loyalty and leadership all feature in the song, and being able to finish with that incredible rousing final half of the last verse at full volume is always special. What lessons or values have you taken forward in life from your time at Harrow?

Matthew: The abiding lesson I learned from my time at Harrow was ‘the individual and the team’. Life is almost entirely lived in teams, and allowing the ‘individual’ to flourish while supported and complemented by the other strengths of the team is at the heart of Harrow’s great traditions and values, and had a lasting effect on me. Jim: Definitely an appreciation that in order to succeed you need a good team of talented individuals around you. I think the School promotes this really well through its very wide-ranging co-curricular

Matthew: So much has changed, so much has stayed the same. Since the 1970s, the quality of pastoral care has been transformed, academic standards and aspirations have improved beyond recognition, and the School has an understated selfconfidence little in evidence 50 years ago. What has not changed in the past 50 years, nor indeed in the past ten, is the challenge of maintaining this extraordinary institution – and that challenge now passes to the next generation of old boys, parents and friends of the School. Jim: Harrow remains an incredibly popular choice for many parents, and its ability to keep up with the dynamic changes happening around us in the 21st century is testimony to its ability to remain relevant and attractive to a market with significant choice. Its ability to blend that modernity with its particular and important traditions make it a pretty unique place to spend five years of your life and, having had the privilege of meeting a large number of recent Harrovians, I feel this mix of old and new produces wonderfully impressive young men.

LEARNING, INNOVATION AND WELLBEING One of the School’s key priorities is a focus on equipping Harrovians with the skills, dispositions and attributes that they will need for the future. This extends beyond the curriculum to the wider learning opportunities that are afforded to boys at Harrow, thanks to a number of initiatives and programmes funded by the Harrow Development Trust.

VISITING FELLOWS PROGRAMME Through the Visiting Fellows programme, the ambition is to create a learning environment that enables pupils to take inspiration from industry leaders and practitioners in their field. The Harrow Development Trust is helping to fund a number of visiting posts benefiting the School’s provision in Art, Music and Drama. Over the coming year, we hope to create a programme of visiting engineers to support teaching in the Physics, Maths and Design & Technology Departments. Each visiting engineer will spend up to a year in the School for a few days each week, and boys will benefit greatly from their expertise, insight and energy. In addition, this will enable each department to extend their work with the local community through workshops for local primary school children.

UNIVERSITY AND CAREER SUPPORT Funds contributed through the HDT continue to invest in a US College Advisor position to support the quarter of Harrovians who are now experiencing the Liberal Arts curriculum and holistic application process of the American university system. Other Harrovians are beginning to explore degree apprenticeships with some of the world’s biggest technology, banking and accountancy firms. Increasingly, employers are finding that graduates do not have the skillsets that they need and are consequently using more sophisticated recruitment tools that rely on algorithmic and competency-based approaches more than reputation of university and degree classification.

OUTREACH AND PARTNERSHIP Donations through the HDT continue to support the work of Shaftesbury Enterprise. Whether teaching or coaching primary-age pupils, partnering with secondary students, raising sponsorship money through fundraising events, providing companionship for elderly people, working in charity shops or with disadvantaged groups, boys receive huge reciprocal benefit, with many Harrovians feeling that their commitment to Shaftesbury Enterprise is one of the most valuable they make at School.

£50k SHAKESPEARE’S GLOBE In March 2019, many OHs, parents, staff and friends of the School filled Shakespeare’s Globe to watch the School’s special 25th anniversary gala performance of Twelfth Night. Thanks to generous donations, the HDT provided the funds for hiring the Globe for this special event. Surplus proceeds from the occasion have gone towards a new Tiring House for Speech Room and the new Jeremy Lemmon Shakespeare Project partnership between the School and the Globe.

HARROW BENEFACTORS Thank you to those Old Harrovians, parents, staff and friends of the School who have given generously this year. Here, we recognise all those who have made a gift of any size between 1 September 2018 and 31 August 2019. We express deep gratitude to all of them, including those who have asked to remain anonymous or whom we may have omitted inadvertently, for which we apologise.

It was thanks to Harrow’s outstanding bursary and scholarship programme, funded by the generosity of the School’s supporters, that I had the once-ina-lifetime opportunity of attending the School. Participating in the Leavers’ Campaign gives me an opportunity to repay the generosity that I benefited enormously from and I take great pleasure in the fact that such campaigns mean life-changing opportunities are still afforded to so many.” Sam Ackroyd (West Acre 20163) Bursary recipient

IMPACT REPORT 2019

Now in our second year as Harrow parents, we are thrilled to support the Plan 450 Campaign. Our son is benefiting from the generosity of Old Harrovians and past parents who have, over the centuries, contributed to the wonderful School that Harrow is today, so we did not hesitate when given the chance to put a little back for the Harrovians of the future.”

HARROW DEVELOPMENT TRUST SILVER ARROW

SUPPORTING HARROW There are many ways in which you can make tax-efficient donations towards any of the Schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fundraising priorities. The combined impact of donations of all sizes makes a real difference to the lives of boys at Harrow.

JOIN THE THREE YARDS ANNUAL FUND The Three Yards Annual Fund is the principal means for the Harrow community to support the School and make a direct impact on the day-today lives of the boys, in their Houses, through bursaries, or bigger projects. Many of our supporters choose to make regular contributions, monthly or annually, big or small, in this way. These regular donations are popular as they provide critical and predictable support for the School, year on year, while allowing donors to plan their charitable giving.

Visit harrowschool.org.uk/The-Three-Yards-Annual-Fund for more information.

LEAVE A GIFT IN YOUR WILL Bequests have been enormously important to Harrow since its earliest years, shaping the School that exists today. Leaving a gift in your will is your opportunity to make a lasting contribution to the School for generations to come. If you inform us of your intention to remember Harrow in your will, you will be invited to join our 40 Years on Society and will receive invitations to special donor events. The Harrow Development Trust is a registered charity and therefore bequests from UK tax payers are exempt from inheritance tax. This can be a substantial benefit to your estate and your inheritors.

Visit harrowschool.org.uk/leaving-a-legacy to download a pledge form or a sample codicil.

Visit the Support Harrow pages of the School website harrowschool.org.uk/supportharrow to find out more and to donate securely online. 22
