Vacancy Information
Days of Work:
Monday - Friday
To start 11th August .
Preston Lodge High School is a non-denominational secondary school serving the communities of Cockenzie, Port Seton, Longniddry, Blindwells and Prestonpans. Our roll is currently, and the school is very easily commutable from Edinburgh. The strengths of our school are:
1. The high morale, sense of belonging and positive ethos of the school community
2. The nurturing, inclusive work of staff across the school in supporting young people’s learning and wellbeing
3. The strong, positive relationships between staff and students
Our motivated staff, students, parents, carers, and community have worked hard to further improve all aspects of our school, and staff love working at Preston Lodge. Following a recent inspection we are now working hard to address a number of improvement areas, and we are already making great progress. Real positives in our support for learners were identified in the inspection report, and specific improvements in that area are well underway.
We are a happy school, and new staff report very positively on our school’s culture and ethos. At a time of great uncertainty in education, we work together to provide the best education possible for all of our students.
Our work is focused on continuously improving our approach to classroom practice, developing student and staff learning, improving our curriculum offer and improving attainment, with a keen focus on our equity gap.
Support for Learning are a strong team, who work closely with subject staff and our Guidance and Inclusion teams. As well as coordinating mainstream Support for Learning provision, the successful candidate will also lead our Enhanced Learning Provision, our Nurture provision, our large team of ASN Auxiliaries, and our school's SQA Assessment Arrangements. It is therefore a demanding, but rewarding post, offering real challenge, but with significant support available from within and beyond the team. We know that the right candidate will enjoy the role.
