Governance & Scheme of Delegation (Academies)
The Role of Governor
In England, there are over 300,000 School/Academy Governors, who form the largest volunteer force in the country.
Members of Academy Governing Bodies work collectively to perform a strategic role and carry out various key functions, including:
- Discuss and set the aims and objectives for the Academy;
- Ratify the required policies for achieving those aims and objectives;
- Approve/Agree the required targets for achieving those aims and objectives;
- Monitor and evaluate the progress that the Academy is making towards its set aims and objectives.
The role of the Academy Governor is to be a source of challenge and support to the Principal, i.e. a 'critical friend.'
The Governing Body members provide an annual register of interests, which include relevant business interests and relationships between governors and members of the school staff.
The Governing Body of Harris Primary Academy Coleraine Park
The Academy is a member of the Harris Federation. Ultimate responsibility for the Academy rests with the Board of Trustees of the Federation, (Federation governance details and scheme of delegation can be found here), but much of the work of the Board is delegated to the Local Governing Body (the Governors of the Academy). Some Governors are appointed by the Federation whilst others are elected by parents or guardians of students at the Academy or by staff. The details of the Governors at Harris Primary Academy Coleraine Park are shown below.
The Chair of the Academy Governing Body and the Safeguarding Governor at Harris Primary Academy Coleraine Park is Mrs Laura Berman who you can contact via the Clerk to the Governors.
If you would like to contact the Governors please do so via the Clerk on: 020 8808 2045
