from Preschool to S6. We encourage our pupils to develop a love of real learning through an inspiring
curriculum and extensive and inclusive Enrichment programmes.

school what it is and who enable us to be as successful as we are
If you are someone who thrives in value-focused organisations this could be a perfect position for you.

Due to the emphasis on developing external support for the School, you may be required to work out with
normal office hours and undertake some travel on behalf of the School, both in Scotland and the UK
