Chair of Governors
Dear Parents and Carers,
The Governing Body is responsible, with the Principal and Senior Leadership Team, for setting and monitoring the educational direction for the Academy and the targets to be achieved over time.
In October 2008 OFSTED rated the overall effectiveness of the Academy as ‘outstanding’
We now also have a thriving 6th Form, developed in conjunction with other Academies within the Harris Federation of schools.
The Academy has the highest expectations of its students in behaviour, discipline and hard work.
Students are offered an education which is innovative, effective and enjoyable, built around a focus on Sport and Enterprise. Our aim is to prepare them to succeed in their chosen careers, and as citizens of the society in which they will live and work.
As Governors we hope that the Academy is at the heart of the community in Merton, and that its resources and facilities are shared by as many people as possible.
We look forward with you to a bright future at Harris Academy Merton
Tony Bayon
