This resource is comprised of two items:
1) Personal statement for job application to a faith school
2) A cover letter/personal statement for job application to a community primary school
These letters have been tried and tested and have secured interviews for the author on a number of occasions. These exemplars are intended as a guide only and it is advised that job seekers adapt the information contained within the documents to reflect their skills/abilities/experience.
