Overview
Teacher — Craigroyston Community High School
Salary: £33,594 - £50,589 • Hours: 35 per week
Craigroyston Community High School is a non-denominational secondary community school serving a catchment area in the northwest of Edinburgh. In the school's catchment there are 3 associated primary schools: Craigroyston, Forthview and Pirniehall. The Locality is undergoing regeneration with 750 new homes being built.
The school's catchment is in a designated area of high deprivation. Free Meal Entitlement is 40% and approximately 25% of the pupil body have additional support for learning requirements. Approximately 10% of the pupil cohort are looked after children (LAC). The vision for the school reflects these needs, and a range of nurturing and inclusive measures have been introduced to best support all young people that attend the school. We benefit from close links with a range of partners.
The curriculum rationale is to meet the needs of every young person so that when they leave school they have a portfolio of skills, experiences, qualifications, and knowledge of the job market to ensure they enter a sustained positive destination. To that end the school strongly encourages all young people to stay on at school until the end of S6. An innovative, aspirational Senior Phase linked to employment, using vocational courses and strong college links as well as traditional subject provision ensures that every young person has a curriculum that suits their needs and ambitions.
The school is firmly committed to raising attainment and promoting achievement. The School Improvement Plan reflects local, City of Edinburgh Council and national priorities.
The post involves working in a regulated environment. The preferred candidate will be required to join the PVG Scheme or undergo a PVG Scheme update check. If an individual has spent a continuous period of 3 months or more outside the UK in the last 5 years, an Overseas Criminal Record Check will be required. An unconditional offer of employment and commencement in the post will be subject to satisfactory outcomes of these pre-employment checks.
We are committed to creating a workplace culture where all our people feel valued, included and able to be their best at work. We recognise the benefits that a diverse workforce with different values, beliefs, experiences and backgrounds brings to us as an organisation.
