Job overview
An opportunity has arisen at Harrow for a Post Graduate Assistant Teacher (PGAT) of Art. PGAT appointments are fixed term contracts and are typically for one academic year, with the possibility of the contract being renewed for a second year.
The School provides training in skills both related to teaching and transferable to other professions. The role of PGAT will allow those interested in pursuing a career in teaching to gain directly relevant experience and training, and those more likely to move into another profession beyond the end of their time at Harrow to acquire skills beneficial for their future careers in other areas, including banking, consultancy and the law.
The Art department is a centre of excellence at Harrow. The department has an exemplary track record of results in public examinations. All boys study the subject in their first year and some 50-60 boys typically continue to GCSE. Around 30 boys take the A level Fine Art course and around 20 opt for the Edexcel A level Photography course. We also offer the A level qualification in History of Art.
The salary is dependent on the applicant's experience. Accommodation is provided without charge on the Hill, and the School pays for water and council tax. All meals are provided free of charge during term time. Health cover is also provided.

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.”
