Haworth Primary School

Haworth Primary school is an average-sized community primary school set in the heart of a rural village. In September 2014, the Local Authority raised our admission number from one to one-anda- half classes and this has been a vehicle for making significant changes to the physical environment. We have a community nursery, where many children transfer to other local schools at the end of their Nursery year. The overwhelming majority of our pupils are from white British backgrounds and the proportion of disadvantaged pupils supported by the pupil premium funding is broadly in line with the national average.

The proportion of disabled pupils and those who have special educational needs is above average and staff, at all levels, are highly skilled at supporting inclusive practice. In September 2014, we opened an interim designated special provision (DSP) for children with communication and interaction needs, including autistic spectrum disorders. It is planned to expand this specialist provision to support to 12 pupils from across the local authority from January 2016.
