COOMBE Bissett CE VA Primary School has appointed a new headteacher. Emma Haworth joined the school in September.

Chair of governors, Trudy Nazer, described Emma as: “Full of energy, enthusiasm and drive. 

“We can already see what an impact she is having on our school and we all look forward to working with her in the future.”

Of her appointment, Emma said: “I am fortunate enough to be the new headteacher at Coombe Bissett School. 

“It is such a privilege to be able to join such a family-centred school, which just emanates warmth and compassion. 

“It is definitely a small school with a big heart!

“I have been teaching for over 25 years and have been a headteacher for the past 12. 

“My passion in life is teaching, I am at my happiest during a school day when I am in the classroom with the children. I love to learn and I love nurturing that love in others.

“Watching children thrive and flourish is a privilege that I do not take lightly. 

“It is my aim that children should come to school every day with a smile and leave with a bigger one.”

Chair of governors, Trudy Nazer, added: “The staff and governors and new head would love to be able to share what makes our school so special with as many people as possible; so please make an appointment to visit the school and meet Emma – we would love to see you.”
