Haworth Primary Resource Provision
Welcome to the Nest
We warmly welcome you to the Nest.
The Nets is an integral part of Haworth Primary School. We all work closely together with an emphasis on inclusion, every child that is allocated a place in the Nest is also a member of one of our mainstream classes.

How do we work together with families?
At Haworth Primary School, we recognise the importance of involving families in their children’s learning. We take every step to encourage effective parental involvement. Our staff are approachable and understand how essential regular communication is.
Through termly meetings and annual reviews we work together on individual support plans and agree the best ways to meet the desirable outcomes for your child. We liaise with external agencies who support families, such as Children’s Services and SENDIASS, to consider all your child’s needs.
We value the contribution that every family and child make to our school community and feel honoured that families choose us to educate and nurture their children.
