School Governors

Harvills’ school governors is a team of dedicated people who want to make a positive contribution to the education of children in our community. Our governors are part of the largest volunteer forces in the country and have a crucial part to play in raising standards here at Harvills Hawthorn.

The role of the governing board is absolutely key to the effectiveness of a school. The Governing Body work closely with the school’s leadership and management team to ensure that the children at Harvills get the best education possible.
