The principles of Curriculum for Excellence are central their practice. Children benefit from high‑quality teaching across all curriculum areas, alongside meaningful opportunities to develop leadership, independence and a sense of belonging. Staff work collaboratively to ensure consistent, nurturing approaches and to support every learner to achieve their potential.
Please note, for candidates that are invited for Short Leet there will be a virtual assessment centre consisting of three written tasks.
The Standard for Headship is now an essential requirement for this post. If the successful candidate does not meet this requirement the post may be offered on a temporary basis for a maximum period of 30 months if the panel is satisfied that, on an individual basis, there is a likelihood that the Into Headship qualification will be achieved within this timescale. A permanent contract will be offered only when the course is successfully completed. If it becomes clear that this essential qualification will not be achieved within 30 months then the contract will be ended with appropriate notice and the temporary Head Teacher will then revert to a DHT1 post available across the city.
