Community Officers 

"Let each of you look not only to his own interests but also to the interests of others." — Philippians 2:4

Leading with Heart—Locally and Globally

At Harworth Church of England Academy, leadership begins in the classroom and reaches far beyond our school gates. Our Community Officers—a team of passionate and responsible pupils—play a vital role in shaping a caring, inclusive school environment while building bridges with communities across the world.

Who Are Our Community Officers?

Our Community Officers are pupils who demonstrate empathy, initiative, and a commitment to making a difference. They:

  • Promote kindness and respect across the school
  • Support younger pupils during playtimes and transitions
  • Help organise charity events and awareness campaigns
  • Represent Harworth CE Academy in community outreach projects

These young leaders are role models in action—showing that age is no barrier to impact.

Our Global Link: The King's Village, Ghana

One of the most meaningful parts of our Community Officers’ work is our ongoing partnership with The King's Village in Northern Ghana — a community development project transforming lives through education, healthcare, and clean water initiatives.

  • We sponsor a young girl named Nashiratu, one of triplets, who attends school at The King's Village
  • Pupils regularly write letters, send gifts, and share videos with Nashiratu and her classmates
  • In Collective Worship, we reflect on life in Ghana, sing songs like “My God is Good”, and learn about the culture, flag, and geography of the region

This connection reminds us that compassion knows no borders—and that our actions here in Harworth can ripple across continents. Click here to visit our King's Village page.

Learning Through Service

Our Community Officers help the whole school engage with global citizenship. Through Collective Worships, classroom projects, and fundraising efforts, they encourage others to:

  • Understand the challenges faced by children in different parts of the world
  • Celebrate cultural diversity and shared values
  • Take action to support those in need

Whether it's organising a non-uniform day for Nashiratu’s school or leading a discussion on clean water access, our pupils are learning that leadership means service—and that every small act of kindness matters.
