Harrow College Corporation
Governors work on a voluntary basis, bringing their skills and experience to work closely with the senior management to achieve the strategic aims of the College.
Our Governance section provides more information on the role of governors and the day to day running of the Corporation.
The College is very appreciative of the time and personal commitment of its Governors. Governors find it a very rewarding role, making a difference to the College and its students as well as supporting their personal development. If you are interested in finding out more about becoming a governor visit our Members section.
If you have any queries or would like any further information you can contact our Clerk to the Corporation. Further contact information is available on the Contact the Governors page.
The Corporation
Harrow College Corporation is a legal entity responsible for the character, mission and values of the College. It is made up of 10 independent members from the local and business communities, along with two staff and two student members from the College and the Principal & Chief Executive.
Harrow College was incorporated as a Further Education Corporation by the Further and Higher Education Act 1992. The statutory Instrument and Articles of Government issued by the Department of Innovation, Universities and Skills (DIUS), detail the responsibilities of the Corporation, Principal & Chief Executive, and the composition and framework of the Governing Body.
Governance is the way in which organisations are directed and controlled. The Corporation determines the rules and procedures for making decisions on corporate affairs including the process through which the organisation's objectives are set and performance monitored.
The Corporation is collectively responsible for the quality of the service which is provided to students and stake holders as well as ensuring the effective use of resources.
