John Lyon’s Foundation is an educational foundation consisting of Harrow School, John Lyon School and John Lyon’s Charity. The Foundation aims to maximise the opportunities for children and young people by enabling them to realise their potential, broaden their horizons and ultimately enable them to experience and enjoy a better quality of life.
I am very pleased to welcome you to John Lyon’s Foundation’s website, which I hope will give you a flavour of the work that Harrow School, John Lyon School and John Lyon’s Charity, who make up John Lyon’s Foundation, aim to achieve.
More Info
Harrow School was founded in 1572 under a Royal Charter granted by Queen Elizabeth I. It is located in a leafy 300-acre estate, encompassing much of Harrow on the Hill in northwest London. As stewards of many cherished traditions, today’s Harrovians follow in the footsteps of the Giants of Old, united by strength of character, lasting friendships and the desire to be of good influence.
John Lyon’s Charity gives grants to benefit children and young people up to the age of 25 who live in nine boroughs in northwest London. Since 1991, the Charity has distributed over £100 million to a range of organisations that seek to promote the life chances of children and young people through education.
John Lyon is Northwest London’s leading co-ed, 3 to 18, independent school. We proudly serve families in Harrow-on-the-Hill, around Harrow and further afield by offering a world-class School experience for pupils from aged 3 in our Little Lyons Nursery to aged 18 sitting A-Levels in our bespoke Sixth Form Centre. John Lyon is a happy, warm and progressive community.
