Our values define who we are:

Together, we ARE Calderside – a school where young people are inspired to aim high, to respect themselves and others, and to contribute positively to the world around them.
Subject to the policies and practice of the School and the Council, the duties of principal teachers are, in addition to any duties of a teacher that may apply, to:
(a) lead, manage and support the work of colleagues providing strategic direction and guidance as necessary;
(b) lead curriculum development and quality assurance;
(c) contribute to the development of school policy in relation to the behaviour management of pupils;
(d) review and support professional needs, and performance of colleagues through career-long professional learning;
e) where required, lead, implement and manage whole school policies including, where appropriate, guidance, pastoral care and behaviour support.
Principal Teachers must be given a reduction in weekly class contact to enable them to carry out those duties which are in addition to their duties as classroom teacher. Its extent may vary according to the nature and scope of those duties. The additional duties of principal teachers must be capable of being undertaken within the 35-hour working week and, where a principal teacher retains a classroom teacher role, within the arrangements agreed at establishment level through the working time agreement.
