1 ANTHONY ASHLEY-COOPER, 7TH EARL OF SHAFTESBURY (THE HEAD MASTER’S 18133)

Anthony Ashley-Cooper attended from 1813 to 1816.

Lord Ashley, as he was known, entered Parliament in 1826 as MP for Woodstock, and later represented Dorchester, the county of Dorset, and Bath. He was a Tory, an admirer of Wellington (who appointed him to the India Board in 1828) and an opponent of parliamentary reform. He became a civil Lord of the Admiralty in Peel’s first ministry and served as a member of the royal household from 1839 to 1841. Thereafter, Ashley did not hold government office again, preferring the independence of a backbencher.

Ashley’s first philanthropic campaign became a life-long crusade to reform the appalling treatment of people with mental health problems, beginning with his support of the Madhouses Act of 1828. In 1833, he became the parliamentary leader of the Ten Hours Movement to regulate the working hours of children and young people: the result was a series of Factory Acts, enacted over the decades that followed. In 1840, he supported legislation to protect child chimney sweeps and he helped to establish the Climbing Boys Society. The 1842 Mines Act banned the employment of women and children underground. Ashley believed profoundly in the need to provide schools for poor and destitute children and, in 1844, he became president of the Ragged Schools Union (later known as the Shaftesbury Society). In 1848, he became a Commissioner of the Board of Health.

“The poor man’s earl” died in October 1885, taking the sea air at Folkestone. His funeral was held in Westminster Abbey, accompanied by widespread public grief, and he was buried at Wimborne St Giles in Dorset. He is commemorated by a statue in Westminster Abbey, the Anteros monument in Piccadilly Circus ­— and at Harrow by a portrait in Speech Room and a tablet placed on the Church Hill wall of Old Schools in 1897.

32 SHAFTESBURY ENTERPRISE ANNUAL REPORT 2019 SHAFTESBURY ENTERPRISE AT A GLANCE 33 SHAFTESBURY ENTERPRISE IN CONTEXT

Shaftesbury Enterprise and our partnerships with schools and the local community is fundamental to the identity of Harrow School. This stems from the founding of the School as part of a Royal Charter Corporation in 1572. Harrow’s outward-looking activity helps the School to deliver on the original charitable aims of its founder John Lyon. It also helps Harrovians to understand that we have responsibilities, and that there is much fulfilment to be found in strong relationships with those around us.

34 SHAFTESBURY ENTERPRISE ANNUAL REPORT 2019 SHAFTESBURY ENTERPRISE IN CONTEXT 35 THE ROYAL CHARTER CORPORATION

Harrow School is part of a Royal Charter Corporation. The Corporation’s objects, as set out in the Royal Charter granted by Queen Elizabeth I in 1572, are ‘the bringing up, teaching and instruction of children and youth in grammar’, such that those children and youth give ‘a very good example to all others to imitate the like hereafter, and also to the common profit of all our subjects’.

THE CORPORATION’S AIMS

The Corporation’s aims are to:

• provide an independent secondary education of very high quality in order to maximise each pupil’s potential and lifelong interests to the benefit of the wider community;

• develop the Corporation’s facilities and educational opportunities in order to maintain and where possible improve the quality of teaching and learning;

• increase bursary funding in order to widen access for boys from a broad range of backgrounds and abilities; and

• provide educational facilities to members of local schools and to other members of the community, so far as is consistent with the above aims, in order that they too may benefit from them directly.

THE CORPORATION’S JOHN LYON’S FOUNDATION

OBJECTIVES Harrow School is also part of John Lyon’s

The Foundation’s mission is to improve the prospects of children and young • focus on academic excellence while offering an people through educational opportunity. exceptional range of extracurricular opportunities;

• raise and deploy the necessary resources and funds, including those raised by voluntary effort, to improve the School’s facilities, opportunities and bursary provision; and

• facilitate appropriate use of the School’s facilities by local schools and other community groups.
