Edinburgh, United Kingdom Midlothian Council Full time

Job Description

Main Grade Teacher £32, - £48,

Permanent

Full Time

Currently, Midlothian has 6 secondary schools, 32 primary schools (19 of which have nurseries) and 2 stand alone nursery schools. Our special school, Saltersgate, provides support for children with a range of physical, social, emotional, behavioural and learning difficulties. The schools range in size from our smallest primary school with around 20 children to our largest secondary with over pupils. We have a diverse range of school catchments, from rural to urban settings. We are fortunate to have a growing number of new build schools, with 15 of our primary schools and 1 secondary having been built within the last 10 years and several new builds planned.

Beeslack Community High School was established in . It serves the northern tip of Penicuik and its surrounding areas. Our current role is around pupils. As a relatively small school, we know our pupils well and positive relationships are consistently identified as one of our key strengths. We have strong relationships with our associated primary schools (Bilston Primary; Mauricewood Primary and Roslin Primary) and we work closely with them to ensure pupils experience a smooth transition from primary school to high school. We also have a number of pupils from out with catchment, all of which makes for a diverse and close-knit school community. At Beeslack we have a saying that encapsulates this sense of community and togetherness: ‘Once at Beeslack, always at Beeslack.’ We believe that school plays an important role in forming connections, friendships and memories that last far beyond the last time a pupil walks through the school gates and out into the wider world. Beeslack will always connect those who have been part of its history as pupils, staff, parents or community partners and they will be forever welcome in our school community.

Interviews for the above post will take place week beginning 17 June
