Ling Bob J, I & N School, Albert Road, Pellon, Halifax, HX2 0QD Ling Bob J, I & N School, Albert Road, Pellon, Halifax, HX2 0QD Welcome to Ling Bob Junior Infant and Nursery School. Whether you are a parent, child, friend, neighbour or visitor, we want you to feel welcome and valued at Ling Bob.
Our school motto is Leading Inspiring Nurturing and Guiding and this is what we aim to do for all children who come here. We want to give children a voice and a feeling of worth and to give them the self-esteem to believe they can overcome challenges to succeed in life. As headteacher here, I take our responsibility to promote equality very seriously.
The staff team and I are committed to ensuring that no-one in the school community is left out or left behind for reasons of age, disability, gender, race, religion or belief. Here, at Ling Bob, everyone is welcome. We believe in giving all children opportunities in the arts, sport and in nature; we want to help them find their own passion for learning, whatever it may be.
