About This Role
Harrow School is situated in Harrow on the Hill in north-west London. The School is located on a 324-acre estate which encompasses much of Harrow on the Hill and is one of the best-known schools in the world. Around 837 boys study at Harrow and live in the School’s 12 boarding houses. Employees particularly value the School’s beautiful green estate, the positive working environment, and good relationships with their colleagues.
The Department
The Mathematics Department is one of the most successful departments in the School, with very good results achieved at all levels. It consists of 16 Masters.
There are approximately 170 boys in a year group and usually some 100 boys study Mathematics in each year of the Sixth Form. The department currently prepares boys for examinations set by Pearson. In 2024, 34% of A-level Mathematics grades were at A*, with 79% at A*-A. Three divisions (sets) of boys studied Further Mathematics, with 81% achieving A*-A. In the same year, 53% of IGCSE results were at grade 9, with 79% at grades 9-8. Almost all in the top two divisions at IGCSE also take the Additional Mathematics qualification, with many achieving the highest possible grade.
The Mathematics Department has a long tradition of excellence in national Mathematics competitions. Each year large numbers of boys participate in the UKMT Mathematics Challenges, with many going on to take the Olympiad papers. The department also runs an inter-house Mathematics competition as well as a competition for individual boys.
