Governors
Our Academy Governance Committee (AGC) is an essential part of life at Haworth Primary School. They are involved in helping to improve and sustain school by regulating the curriculum, finance, buildings and staffing amongst other things. The body is representative of our school community and, therefore, is made up of parents, staff and members of the local community. The decisions made at AGC meetings are fair and have school’s best interests at heart. They are all volunteers who give up our time to govern the school to the best of their abilities. They have expertise in a wide range of areas, not just within the educational field, but in areas such as management, finance, buildings, safeguarding.
Our AGC Members are actively involved in the life and work of the school and have many statutory duties, these being:
- To help shape the vision and direction of the school.
- To ensure that the school fulfils its statutory duties.
- To have a good understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of the school.
- To ‘constructively’ challenge and support the Leadership Team.
They do this by working in partnership with the Headteacher, and the Senior Leaders within the school. AGC members visit the school on a regular basis to challenge what we are doing and support the school. Each member has a link role and they come into school to work with the staff and monitor these areas. Our Link Academy Committee Member roles are consistent across the Trust and cover the following areas:-
- Leadership and Management
- Quality of Education
- Safeguarding
- Behaviour and Personal Development
- SEND
The AGC members are strong supporters of the school and are very keen to hear from parents/carers and others who are interested in us. All Academy Committee Members can be contacted through the school or via the Chair.
If you would like to know more about the school, you are very welcome to contact the School Office or to come and visit us.
