Celebrating 10 Years of Excellence
2026 marks a historic milestone for Harrow Shanghai. As we celebrate our 10th Anniversary, we reflect on a decade of academic brilliance and the vibrant community we have built together. To lead us into this bold new chapter, we are delighted to announce the appointment of Mr. Christopher McAllister as our new Headmaster of Harrow Shanghai.
His arrival signifies a period of both stability and renewed vision, ensuring educational continuity as the Harrow spirit flourishes in its second decade in the heart of Shanghai.
Continuity of Academic Achievement
Mr. McAllister joins us following a highly distinguished tenure as Headmaster of Tettenhall College in the UK. He is widely recognized for his “fearless and relentless pursuit of excellence,” having fostered high-achieving cultures where students consistently exceed their potential.
In his new role, Mr. McAllister is committed to carrying forward this momentum. He will seamlessly integrate the rigorous academic standards and transformative leadership that defined his success in the UK into the high-performing environment of Harrow Shanghai, ensuring our pupils continue to reach the world’s top universities.
A Seamless Transition, A Personal Commitment
To ensure total continuity for our students and families, Mr. McAllister has already commenced a comprehensive induction program. Working closely with the Senior Leadership Team and the AISL Harrow network, he is focused on ensuring our academic trajectory remains steep and uninterrupted.
Beyond his professional accolades, Mr. McAllister joins us as a Harrow parent. With his two children also joining the school, he brings a deep, personal investment in the success and well-being of every pupil.
“I am honoured to be joining the Harrow Shanghai community during such a landmark year. My mission is to build upon this school’s incredible foundation, ensuring our commitment to nurturing ambition and holistic education remains steadfast. We aren’t just celebrating ten years of history; we are launching the next ten years of excellence.” — Mr. Christopher McAllister
