Founded in 1876, John Lyon School has a rich history and proud tradition of excellence. In 2026, we will celebrate our 150th anniversary, a landmark moment that invites us not only to reflect on our remarkable past, but to invest confidently in our future.
To mark this milestone year, we are launching our 150th Anniversary Fund page, bringing together our community of Old Lyonians, parents and friends of the School to help us reach ambitious and transformative goals. We need the collective support of our John Lyon Community to ensure we achieve these ambitions and continue to deliver the outstanding academic and pastoral education for which John Lyon is known.
As an independent school, John Lyon relies entirely on fees and philanthropic support to sustain and enhance the pupil experience. Donations enable us to preserve the values and opportunities that have shaped generations, while ensuring today’s pupils and those of the future benefit from a nurturing, rounded and high-quality education.
Through the generosity of our supporters, the Lyonian Association helps to transform lives and broaden horizons. This is achieved by:
As we look ahead to the next 150 years, your support will play a vital role in helping John Lyon continue to thrive, grow and inspire.
We warmly invite our community of parents, alumni, friends and supporters to be part of this celebration. Every gift - whether £1.50, £10.50 or £150 - will help us honour our past, enrich the present, and empower future Lyonians who will carry our legacy forward. Be a part of our 150th Anniversary.
