Harworth Church of England Academy

Our Governors

Message from the Chair of Governors 

Hello to everyone … children, parents, families, governors and everyone involved and interested in our school.

I am Ian Archer and I’m the chair of the Governing Body which oversees what goes on in our school. I was a teacher for 38 years before I retired and have been a regular member of our church congregation for longer than I care to remember.

I meet with the Head every week when we can and we discuss all matters about our school – pupils, staff, premises and finance is our usual agenda. All governors are encouraged to take an active interest and visit regularly.

Over the last few years I have worked with the Head to ensure rising standards and attainment in our school and engender a super atmosphere which supports optimum achievement for all.

But a really good school is more than this – I like to say that the children in our school swim in a sea of love, care and compassion. You only have to see the staff at work to know what I mean. Our faith and dedication gives our children an experience of life and learning which will stay with them for ever.

We all know that we are an exceptional school – the only people who don’t are those who have not yet visited us!

Ian Archer
