Structure and Curriculum
The Governing Body of Harrow School retains ultimate control of The John Lyon School; most responsibilities, however, are delegated to a John Lyon Board of Governors (officially styled Committee of Management). A number of Harrow governors serve on this Committee, alongside various co-opted governors. Unlike many other governing bodies in British schools there is no academic staff involvement in overall school government.
The John Lyon School is divided into three age sections (terms in parentheses refer to their respective house and sporting designations):
- Oldfield and Lower School (Juniors) – Years 7, 8 and 9
- the Upper School (Colts) – Years 10 and 11
- the Sixth Form (Seniors) – Years 12 and 13

Famous quotes containing the words structure and/or curriculum:
“If rightly made, a boat would be a sort of amphibious animal, a creature of two elements, related by one half its structure to some swift and shapely fish, and by the other to some strong-winged and graceful bird.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“If we focus exclusively on teaching our children to read, write, spell, and count in their first years of life, we turn our homes into extensions of school and turn bringing up a child into an exercise in curriculum development. We should be parents first and teachers of academic skills second.”
—Neil Kurshan (20th century)
