Wester Hailes High School (formerly Wester Hailes Education Centre) opened in August 1978 and following a cross party working group and wider consultation was named Wester Hailes High School from June 2021. The vision for the school reflects the need to achieve successful outcomes for all young people regardless of background or ability and the school community is united in achieving this.

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 a knowledge of the job market to ensure they enter a sustained positive destination. The successful applicant for this post will be a skilled, effective school leader experienced in and committed to learning, with a proven ability of engaging all young people in effective learning. The post-holder will have a record of regular participation in relevant CLPL as well as a commitment to implementing CLPL for different groups of stakeholders.
