Linthwaite Ardron C.E. (A) J & I School Church Lane, Linthwaite, Huddersfield HD7 5TA Telephone: 01484 845544 e-mail: [email protected] website: www.linthwaite-ardron.org.uk Dear Candidate On behalf of the governors, staff and children of Linthwaite Ardron Church of England (VA) Junior and Infant School, I would like to thank you for expressing an interest in our Headteacher vacancy and for requesting an application pack. Linthwaite Ardron is a thriving and popular school located in Linthwaite, a village in the beautiful Colne Valley nestling in the South Pennines to the west of Huddersfield, West Yorkshire. Ours is a school that is at the heart of the local community. We place great emphasis on our distinctive character as a Church of England school and the mutually supportive relationship we have with Christ Church Linthwaite and the Diocese. Our school seeks to stimulate quality teaching and learning in a safe and nurturing environment underpinned by Christian values. We can offer you a group of happy and hard-working children who are eager to learn; supportive and engaged parents; and extremely dedicated staff. We are very proud of everyone involved with our school and we refer to everyone - past and present - as being part of “our school family”. As our current Headteacher is due to retire in August after fifteen very happy and successful years in post, we are now seeking an enthusiastic and energetic new Headteacher with the experience and leadership qualities to recognise our existing strengths and to further our ambitions. If you are interested in the post, we will be happy to welcome you to the school for an informal visit. Everyone that visits the school comments on how warm and welcoming it is and so I hope that you will be able to come and discover this for yourself! I do hope you decide to apply, and I look forward to meeting you in due course. Yours sincerely Andy Rushby Chair of Governors January 2018 .
