A number of Harrow governors serve on this committee, alongside co-opted governors. Unlike many previous 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:~~ '''Oldfield''' – Years 7 and 8 '''Upper School''' – Years 9, 10 and 11 '''Sixth Form''' – Lower Sixth and Upper Sixth ==Heads == J.E.
