Since 2016, Harrow and Anmin Schools have worked to improve the prospects of young people in Beijing under the 'big brother' and 'big sister' scheme.

Students are encouraged to act as big brothers and big sisters towards their counterparts at each school, Harrow students teach the Anmin students English.

The new footballing initiative, supported by the British Chambers of Commerce and donations by Harrow Beijing's Churchill House, aims to expand this partnership further and deepen the relationship between the two schools and the wider community.

John Hopkins, Assistant Headmaster, said: "Our partnership with Anmin began in 2016, with a fundraiser for the school conducted by Friends of Harrow. Since then, it has expanded several times to include a range of inclusive activities, including Cricket lessons by former England Captain Mark Gatting last year."

Martin Hylton, Master in Charge of Football, added: "It is vital as a school that we support the local community. Through this new footballing initiative, we aim to use the power of football to educate and empower not only our students but the local community as well.

"As one of the most powerful sports in the world, football has the unique ability to bring together people from all backgrounds for universal enjoyment and is a vehicle for academic and personal excellence."

The new initiative, aimed at empowering local communities and providing an opportunity for older students of the school to develop their leadership qualities, is sponsored by the British Chamber of Commerce in China and will begin in mid-October.

New equipment and kits for students of Anmin were provided by donations made by the Churchill House.

British schools are establishing Chinese campuses with greater frequency this year, as the industry recognizes the potential for the Chinese education market.
