Governance & Scheme of Delegation (Academies)

Sponsor: Lord Harris of Peckham

I believe that a good education is the most important start in life we can give young people and our intention is that when all students leave, they will be well prepared to succeed in the world - in whatever walk of life they choose.

The Role of Governors

Within England, there are over 300,000 School/Academy Governors, who form the largest volunteer force in the country.

The roles of individual Governors, and subsequently members of a Governing Body, work collectively to perform a strategic role and carry out key functions such as:

  • Discuss and set the aims and objectives for the Academy.
  • Set the required policies for achieving those aims and objectives.
  • Set the required targets for achieving those aims and objectives.
  • Monitor and evaluate the progress that the Academy is making towards it’s set aims and objectives.

Finally the role of the Academy Governor is to be a source of challenge and support to the Principal, i.e. a 'critical friend.'

The Governing Body of Harris Academy Riverside

The Academy is a member of the Harris Federation. Ultimate responsibility for the Academy rests with the Board of Trustees of the Harris Federation.

Our trustees' - The Harris Federation's - governance details and scheme of delegation can be found here

Statutory accounts for the trust, master funding agreement, memorandum and articles of association can be found here

Suppplemental funding agreement can be found here

Much of the work of the Board is delegated to the Local Governing Body which is comprised of 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 Riverside are shown below.

The Chair of the Academy Governing Body at Harris Academy Riverside is Mrs Elaine Forrest, London Road Purfleet, RM19 1QYwho can be contacted on E.Forrest@harrisgovernors.org.uk.


The Clerk to the Governing Body is Mrs Emily Palmer who can be contacted on 01375 802060.
