Governors
Welcome to our Governors’ page!
We work with the school to ensure all children at Hartley believe, achieve and succeed to become lifelong successful learners.
The Governors of Hartley Primary School are committed to supporting the school to become the best provision possible both for our own students and as a community and borough resource. They are dedicated to the school and are effective in helping define the strategic direction of the school and questioning and challenging to ensure excellent practice across all areas of school development.
As in other multi-academy trusts, our Local Governing Body is accountable to Trust Directors and plays a fundamental advisory role to this higher Board. For more information about the Learning in Harmony Trust’s governance structures, please visit the dedicated Trust page on our website.
- Ensure clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction;
- Hold executive leaders to account for the educational performance of the school and its pupils, and the performance management of staff.
