Governance & Scheme of Delegation (Academies)

The Academy is a member of the Harris Federation. Ultimate responsibility for the Academy rests with the Board of Trustees of the Federation (see the Federation governance details and scheme of delegation) 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 Academy Bermondsey are shown below.

The governing body works together to oversee the development of a school and has the following key roles and responsibilities:

  • ensure the provision of quality education
  • manage finance and property
  • employ staff
  • fulfil the role of a critical friend
  • recognise and celebrate achievement
  • provide support and encouragement

The Chair of Govenors, Christian Kramer, can be contacted via Harris Academy Bermondsey, 55 Southwark Park, Bermondsey, London, SE16 3TZ.
