Stromness Academy is looking for a pro-active and motivated History teacher committed to providing the best possible learner experiences for all our pupils.
Applicants must be able to teach History at all levels from BGE to Advanced Higher, BGE Modern Studies and statutory Religious and Moral Education up to S4.
You will be a skilled and enthusiastic educator, fully committed to the learning and teaching approaches of Curriculum for Excellence and to inspiring and motivating pupils. Commitment to collegiate working, self-evaluation and maximising opportunities for all pupils is essential.
Stromness Academy is a six-year secondary school on a well-appointed campus in Orkney, which is frequently voted the best place in the UK to bring up children. Our catchment area covers the town of Stromness and the West Mainland, a dispersed population with over three quarters of our pupils being bussed into school. The small size of our school (approximately on roll), and our classes, means we know our pupils well and are able to be flexible to meet their needs. We are committed to providing a positive and purposeful environment where all our pupils achieve, as set out in our school vision.
This is an exciting opportunity for the right candidate to become part of a forward-looking school and a rich and vibrant community.
