Welcome from the Chair of The Harbour School Local Governing Body
I am thrilled to take on the role of Co-Chair of Governors at The Harbour School. This is an exciting time for our school community as we enter a new era of growth and refinement. Our focus on helping students to GROW, LEARN, and ACHIEVE, combined with our specialised approach to supporting those with SEMH developmental and medical needs, puts us in a unique position to positively impact young lives. I look forward to working closely with staff, students, and families to build on our strengths and create new opportunities for success.
