A DEVON junior school has set up a dedicated website as part of its recruitment drive for a new headteacher.

Great Torrington Junior School is not only using the website to advertise itself but also to describe the charms of North Devon.

The website contains a specially filmed video giving a virtual tour of the school accompanied by narration from pupils.

And

there are links to local attractions as well as Devon beauty spots such

as Dartmoor and Exmoor and the twin Atlantic and English Channel

coasts.

Vice Chair of Governors, Marten Gallagher, is masterminding the recruitment campaign.

“We decided to set up a dedicated website to support our national advertising,” he said.

“We are a school with many strengths which we think will attract a good slate of ambitious candidates.

“Hopefully our video tour with children talking about the school will be of particular interest.

“But

this area has so much more to offer and we wanted to remind people who

may be thinking of applying what a wonderful lifestyle they can enjoy

in this part of Devon as well.”
