(ALMOST) FORTY YEARS ON

I was very lucky to come to Harrow on a bursary in 1984.

The School provided me with incredible opportunities that I would not have otherwise had. It gave me the confidence to try many new things, some successfully and others less so! But that confidence, and the encouragement that came with it, has stuck with me ever since.

My five years as a Harrovian flew by, and between the work and play I made many great friends. But it has been the 34 years as an Old Harrovian in which those enduring friendships, and the professional Harrow connections established since leaving School, have proved invaluable.

I decided after leaving the School that, should I ever be able to do so, I would try to repay the School for the opportunity I was afforded back in ’84; I wanted others, regardless of financial circumstances, to benefit from what Harrow has to offer.

So, whether it’s through my time helping with OH clubs and societies, or as a member of the 450 Society, I am deeply proud to be ‘playing my part’ in supporting the School’s future.
