Our Team

With nearly 30 years experience within SEMH, much of which is in the field of behaviour, Harmony is led by Sarah Baker and Victoria Balls.


The motivation behind their decision to follow this career was driven by their own experiences

as teachers who simply wanted every child to achieve their full potential.


Victoria is co-owner and secondary lead. She started her teaching career in a mainstream

school delivering GCSE Science and A-Level Chemistry. Within a few short years she had

moved to work in more specialist provision, run a Pupil Referral Unit and overseen a Local

Authority Behaviour support service. Then was the time to have a break and spend time with

her young family...but not for long! Victoria went on to complete her NPQH. 


Sarah is co-owner and primary lead. Her teaching career was started in a mainstream school. She then moved across to teaching in a specialist SEMH school where she also ran a nurture group. Sarah was  able to apply her skills and experience working for a Local Education Authority supporting teachers and students in mainstream schools.  


Sarah and Victoria  combined forces to form Harmony in 2014, where it has grown and morphed to meet the need of the children and young people that they support.


Sarah and Victoria are lucky enough to be joined by an amazing team of Specialist Teachers, Mentors and TAs that help to deliver personalised packages to young people. All staff have suitable training.
