Harnham Infant School Governing Body
The  governors play a central role in the management of the school and have a close working relationship with the Headteacher in the running of the school. Although each governor has their own role to play, we all work as a team and have a collective responsibility for the decisions that are made about the school.
We are organised into different committees but are all accountable for school development and improvement. As well as the Full Governing Body, we have a Curriculum Committee, Health and Safety Committee, Staffing Committee and Finance Committee.Â
At Harnham Infant School the governors are always available to listen to you - the parents and your child. You can find out more about us below.Â
