Edinburgh, United Kingdom Strathallan School Full time

We are looking for an inspirational, committed, and enthusiastic Prep School Teacher (primary trained) to join Strathallan Prep School from August . This is an exciting opportunity for a teacher to develop their skills within a well-established, vibrant, and successful prep school. In this full-time, permanent position, the successful candidate will plan, prepare, and deliver high quality lessons to pupils as well as contribute to the co-curricular life of a busy day and boarding school.

The School

Strathallan School is a leading co-educational boarding and day school with an outstanding reputation academically, in sports and in the arts. There are approximately pupils of ages 5 – 18, divided between Strathallan Prep School and Strathallan Senior School. There are three senior girls’ houses, four senior boys’ houses and a junior boarding house. Approximately 65% of the pupils are full boarders.

The school is situated in the beautiful Earn Valley on a self-contained wooded estate of acres at the edge of the village of Forgandenny. Perth is the nearest town some ten minutes away by car and access to the motorways puts Edinburgh (45 mins), Glasgow (1 hr) and the Scottish Highlands within easy reach.

The school is well-resourced with a mixture of traditional and modern buildings. The main building, a Grade B listing, was once a large private mansion, bought by the school’s founder, Harry Riley, in when he moved the school from its original location in Bridge of Allan.

The school exists to provide an inclusive all-round education for its pupils in a nurturing and caring environment. Our aim is to engage pupils to be their best and prepare them for the demands of further study and future work in an increasingly diverse and global university and employment market. We do this through opportunities that inspire and challenge, and by expecting effort and hard work from each pupil to achieve their best, based on the values of respect, kindness, honestly, hard work, humility and excellence, all underpinned by the fundamental value of love.

Strathallan Prep School

Strathallan Prep School is a small, close-knit community for boys and girls ages 5 to 13 years. With average class sizes of 12 – 14 pupils, Strathallan Prep is small enough to promote inclusion yet big enough to encourage diversity, with pupils attending from the local community as well as from across the globe.

Riley House provides a home-from-home atmosphere for both day and boarding pupils where pupils can relax in the main common room, TV lounge, Games room, snug and quiet areas.

With its own classrooms, social areas and outdoor space, our pupils enjoy the expertise of dedicated primary school teachers and the specialist input of subject teachers from the senior school. We ensure each child has a good grounding in core subjects such as Mathematics, English, Modern Languages and Science before moving on to further study. This gradual approach to specialist teaching allows pupils to make good progress in the many subjects they will pursue in senior school.
