23 rd March 2022 Dear Applicant On behalf of the Governing Board may I thank you for taking an interest in the post of Headteacher at Salterforth Primary School. We are a small rural primary school in the heart of Salterforth village. We currently have 97 children on roll, we structure our classes with EYFS taught together and KS1 and KS2 have 2 year groups per class. Our children are at the heart of school life, they have very good relationships with all members of staff, every child is known individually by everyone in the school, resulting in them feeling valued and confident to chat about their learning, their lives and worries. The mental wellbeing and happiness of our children is what drives our staff to ensure they feel nurtured and ready to enjoy their learning, we believe in encouraging each child to achieve their full potential and be actively engaged in their progress and targets. Our desire is to offer the best possible education for our pupils in partnership with parents and the local community. Our governing board are very much part of school life, they are always on hand to offer support and are very keen to ensure all members of staff know their own wellbeing is crucial to them supporting our children and we aim to ensure they all feel valued. The Governors are keen to appoint a Headteacher with the drive, determination and required skills to take our school forward, with the ability to lead and support our children and staff in a happy and caring school. You are welcome to visit the school on an informal basis where you can meet our school community. To arrange a visit please contact Vanessa Robinson our School Business Manager on 01282 812223 or email bursar@salterforth.lancs.sch.uk. Myself and the Governing board assure our full support to the successful candidate and wish you well in your application. Yours faithfully Linda Dowbiggin Chair of Governors Salterforth Primary School
