Ferryhill Primary School is part of the Broughton High School Learning Community, alongside Stockbridge Primary School, Granton Primary School and Flora Stevenson Primary School. We are fortunate to enjoy extensive grounds including a playing field and forest areas. Using our grounds for outdoor education is an important part of our provision. We have a new, purpose-built nursery building and separate halls for dining, assembly and PE in the main building. We currently have a library/teaching space and a separate ICT Suite. Our main priorities for the year ahead include further promoting the principles of a nurturing school, improving attendance, and continuing to improve levels of attainment in literacy and numeracy.

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a temporary Depute Head Teacher to join our team. Our current leadership team consists of the Head Teacher, 2 Depute Head Teachers, a Principal Teacher and a Business Manager.

Salaries will be in accordance with the Scheme of Salaries and Conditions of Service for Teaching Staff in School Education.
