The Governors at Salterforth Primary School are seeking to appoint a highly motivated and talented Headteacher to work in partnership with governors, staff, and the wider school community, to lead the future development of our friendly, caring, and welcoming school.

At Salterforth Primary, we seek to develop happy and confident children, who are challenged to aspire to excellence whilst caring for, and respecting, themselves, and others. We are committed to providing an environment that will develop a happy and healthy child. We believe in developing the whole child and our school is not just about academic achievement alone. Much of our curriculum helps to develop a child’s physical and mental health as well as their academic achievements. Our hard-working staff have high personal standards and expend a great deal of effort themselves in the interests of pupils. All children are treated as individuals and are encouraged to develop at the pace appropriate to them.

Our vision for Salterforth Primary School reflects a passionate commitment to learning and recognition of the uniqueness of individual learners. It is driven by our desire to offer the best possible education for our pupils in partnership with parents and the local community.

a dedicated teaching, and non-teaching staff who are committed to improving the life chances of our pupils

no current timetabled weekly teaching commitment (PPA or class responsibility)

pupils who behave well and have positive attitudes to learning
