Job overview
Member of the Harrow International Schools Limited (HISL) Oversight Team of the Asia International Schools Limited (AISL) Harrow Schools.
Senior and Prep HISL Specialist.
Initially c25 working days per annum (remotely and in country).
The background: Harrow International Schools Limited (HISL) is a trading subsidiary of Harrow School, which licences its Name and Badge to other independently and privately owned schools around the world and is responsible for oversight of their performance on behalf of the Harrow Governors. Currently, there are 13 Harrow-branded schools in 11 cities in Thailand, China, Hong Kong, Japan and India. They are required to reflect Harrow School’s educational purpose, practice, strategy, and philosophy – including the Harrow Values - in a way that is tailored to the needs of their local pupils. The Harrow brand is, therefore, essentially a kitemark of quality in the international schools’ market.
The role: You will undertake a combination of physical and remote oversight of designated international Harrow-branded Schools as part of the annual programme of HISL Educational Oversight Visits. Working closely with the Chief Education Officer, you will assess the schools against the framework of the Harrow Standards, contributing your findings to termly reports and assisting with HISL responses to ongoing developments in the designated schools. International travel will be required. There is a detailed job description found as one of the attached documents of this advert.
The skills: You will have a deep understanding of premium education in the UK, along with an understanding of UK safeguarding and child protection sufficient to support the work involved in this role. Your demonstrable ability to forge strong professional relationships at board level and with middle and senior managers in schools will be hugely beneficial as you collaborate with the designated Harrow-branded Schools in your oversight. You may have experience as a schools’ inspector or have knowledge of international schools and how they differ from the standard UK model but your ability to communicate effectively in writing, demonstrating clarity and influence when expressing opinion will be essential.
Closing date: Midnight, 31 March 2024
Applications will be processed as they are received and we may interview suitable candidates before the closing date; therefore early application is advised.
Equality, diversity, and inclusion are values that are important to us at Harrow. We believe in diversity of thought and actively welcome everyone regardless of their background to bring their valuable and relevant skills to our community.
The School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. All successful applicants must be willing to undergo enhanced child protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with any past employer and the Disclosure and Barring Service, and it is an offence to apply for the role if the applicant is barred from engaging in regulated activity relevant to children. No member of staff will be able to start until these checks are complete and this process takes, on average, a month. Please plan accordingly.

About Harrow School
Harrow School is an independent boarding secondary school for boys aged 13-18. It was established, by royal charter, in 1572 during the reign of Elizabeth I. It is operated as a Royal Charter Corporation, which is a charitable trust whose trustees are the school’s governors. The school licenses the Harrow name to a number of schools in Asia.

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.”
