Bridge of Allan Primary is looking for its next Depute Headteacher to work alongside a strong management team.
Bridge of Allan Primary is a large Primary School based within the village of Bridge of Allan, near Stirling. The school sits on the site of a former orchard and is surrounded by trees, parks and green fields as well as local housing. Currently there are 14 classes spread across P1-P7 as well as a nursery. The management team comprises of a Headteacher, two Depute Headteachers and a Principal ECE. There are also 3 Principal Teachers.
You will have responsibility for Pupil Support and pastoral care for Primary 4-7, management of Probationer staff and students, P7 transitions, curriculum and assessments within P4-7, organisation of medical policies/procedures as well as timetabling and organisation of requisition. You will also lead in quality assurance procedures as part of the wider Senior Management Team and work closely with other members of staff to lead and shape the school.
