Governors

Harrow Appi governors play a vital role in overseeing the strategic direction of the school, providing guidance and support to the Head Master and School Leadership Team, and ensure that the school meets its objectives and delivers a high-quality education to its students.

Governors work collaboratively with our SLT and provide advice and support as needed, with regularly monitoring of the School’s performance to ensure that it is meeting its goals. Governors also engage with parents, staff, and the wider community to ensure that the school is responsive to their needs and concerns.
