It is a true honour to welcome you to Haworth Primary School as Executive Headteacher.

Haworth is a school deeply rooted in its community — a place where every child is known, valued and celebrated. Its warm, village ethos and strong relationships create a genuine sense of belonging for children and families alike.

The school’s commitment to nurturing the whole child is reflected in its inspiring Haworth Hero values: Challenge, Discovery, Kindness, Resilience, Respect and Teamwork. These values are woven through daily life and learning, shaping not only academic success but also character, confidence and compassion. The belief that everyone is different and everyone is equal underpins the inclusive culture that makes Haworth so special.

Set within a beautiful rural environment, the school makes exceptional use of its surroundings. Outdoor learning, woodland exploration and sporting opportunities — including use of the all-weather pitch — enrich the curriculum and support children in developing resilience, teamwork and a love of physical activity. Learning here extends far beyond the classroom, encouraging curiosity, independence and ambition.

As I take on the role of Executive Headteacher across both Haworth and Oakworth Primary Schools, I am committed to honouring the distinctive identity of each school while strengthening collaboration and shared excellence. Working alongside the Head of School, dedicated staff and supportive governors, we will continue to build on Haworth’s strong foundations and ensure every child is inspired to achieve their very best.

I very much look forward to working in partnership with you and welcoming you into the Haworth school community.
