Our Team

The Harris Federation is governed by the Harris Federation Main Board which comprises the Chairmen of Governors of each Academy along with non-executive Directors selected for their particular expertise. The Chairman of the Board is our Sponsor, Lord Harris of Peckham.

Although the Main Board carries the legal responsibilities of Governors for all of the Academies, each Academy has a local Governing Body. This structure allows the Federation to provide central strategic direction whilst maintaining local focus.

Whilst the Federation Board provides strategic direction, the key operational management group is the Principals’ Executive Group, chaired by the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Sir Dan Moynihan. This group meets half termly and reports directly to the Harris Federation Board through the CEO. The CEO supports the Federation on a day to day basis on behalf of the Board.

The Harris Federation central office supports the work of the Federation and leads in the set up and support of Harris Academies. The Harris Federation provides support with legal, financial, HR, educational, project management and construction issues to its Academies.  The Federation also provides support for ICT and runs a Federation wide network, HarrisNET, that supports the sharing of high quality services and learning resources across the group.
