Guide to the Governors

Michael Camp

I am the Chair of Governors and a Foundation Governor (appointed by the Church). Joining at the end of 2020, I bring extensive experience having acted as a governor at various schools since 1987. Initially a teacher, I became a priest and recently retired as a full-time vicar. I love Harnham and nothing is more important to me than making things work well for our children. I bring particular expertise in the worship and ethos of the school.

Alan Blake

Foundation Governor. Alan has been a Governor since 2023.

Andrew Barnard

Andrew studied Archaeology and Prehistory at Sheffield University and then trained as a teacher in Winchester. He specialised in teaching English and history but also coached sport, directed plays and ran school boarding. Between 2006 and 2022, Andrew was Head of a 3-13 prep school in Berkshire. Andrew has a passion for history, creative arts and the natural world and he is eager to open the eyes of young people to the world around them and to promote the development of the whole child. Since retiring to Salisbury in 2023, Andrew has joined the board of two schools, is a trustee of an educational trust and is also an education consultant.

Efrim Niccals

I am a Parent Governor at Harnham Juniors - my daughters both attend the School. I have been involved in school governance for a few years now, both here and at Harnham Infants. I am passionate about the power of education and particularly promoting equality of opportunity for all children. My background is in publishing and bookselling and I am currently also a part- time student.

Ruth Fletcher

I have been Assistant Headteacher since April 2011.. Originally appointed as a Staff Governor in 2011, I have since been appointed as a Co-opted Governor (September 2023). One of my many roles is leading assessment and preparing data analysis of our school so I can explain this to all governors and answer their questions. I very much enjoy working with my governor colleagues who are hardworking and supportive of the School, but who also challenge and question us so we can work together on school improvement and development. As a Staff Governor I create a valuable link between all staff and the Governing Body.

Becky Roberts

I am Reverend Becky, the vicar to the whole of the Harnham community. I have extensive teaching and life experience serving different communities in the UK and abroad. I am also a professionally trained therapist. I believe school is a place where children learn and develop as part of a community, caring for one another and growing in their values to enable both themselves and the community to flourish. The bedrock of my faith is to love others as Jesus taught us in the story of the Good Samaritan. As a Foundation Governor, I support and challenge the school through the Curriculum, Religious Education and acts of worship, as well as supporting families.
