Headteacher ~ Emma Benton

I have been part of the Salisbury Road Primary School community since 2004, joining as a class teacher. Over the years, I have had the privilege of serving in a range of leadership roles, including Assistant Headteacher and Head of School, before becoming Headteacher in September 2026.

Salisbury Road is a school I am deeply passionate about. Having spent most of my career here, I know the school, its families and the wider community exceptionally well. I am committed to ensuring that every child receives the very best education and opportunities, enabling them to thrive both academically and personally.

I am incredibly proud of our school and the warm, inclusive community we have built together. My vision is to continue strengthening the strong foundations already in place, working closely with staff, governors, parents and carers to ensure that Salisbury Road remains a place where every child feels happy, safe, valued and inspired to achieve their full potential.
