Governors

To Parents, Carers and members of our current (and future) community,

Welcome to our thriving Harbury primary school, located both physically and metaphorically at the heart of our village. My name is Sue Johnson, and I am the Chair of the school governing body. I moved to the village 5 years ago, my eldest daughter has graduated from the school, and my youngest is currently in KS2. I am one of 8 Governors, we are all volunteers from the community, and committed to ensuring every child has the best experience of primary school education possible.

The day to day running of the school is in the very capable hands of Lucy Bosley and her deputies. Our role as governors, is to be a critical friend, and challenge Lucy and her team to ensure the school is performing at a high standard.

The past years have brought change and challenge to the school and Harbury community. As we look forward, it's great to welcome parents back into the school for parents’ evenings and events, reading their children’s books, meeting their teachers, and experiencing the culture and environment children are immersed in every day,

You are very welcome to visit our school, please contact reception.

For any matters of school governance, you can contact me at johnson.s7@welearn365.com

The Full Governing Body seeks to compliment the team with the appointment of additional governors who are not parents of current pupils, and do not have a teaching background, as these attributes are currently well represented, and is independent from the school. In particular we would welcome applicants with experience in overseeing building projects and financial management. It is not necessary for applicants to live in or around Harbury.
