Principal Teacher - Corbiewood Primary School - 101854

Corbiewood Primary School is seeking to appoint an enthusiastic, nurturing and skilled Principal Teacher. Corbiewood Primary is a new school being built for the South Stirling Gateway housing development. This is a rare and exciting opportunity to help shape the culture, ethos, and direction of learning in a new school as Principal Teacher.

Corbiewood Primary School is situated in the South Stirling Gateway development, a new residential area. As the school building is currently due to be completed in September 2026, pupils enrolled in Corbiewood Primary School in August will be temporarily accommodated within another nearby school until the school building is complete. They will be Corbiewood Primary School pupils, with their own uniform, classroom and teaching staff who will all transfer with pupils once the school building is complete.

The successful candidate will be highly qualified with expertise in teaching across different stages. As a Principal Teacher, your main purpose and objectives are to lead with and deputise for the head teacher in the management of the school. You will take a lead role in the management, planning and implementation of high quality learning and teaching. We are looking for someone who is able to enthusiastically lead and support creativity. You will inspire, motivate, support and challenge colleagues in the development of their own practice.

We particularly welcome applications from teachers with experience of play based learning, including those who have led or developed play-based approaches within their setting.

Applicants should be explicit in detailing the required skills, experience and attributes that you are able to bring to this post.

Interviews for this post are scheduled for Monday 20th April 2026.

Please note that although the application process allows the uploading of a CV (resume), this is not a requirement for teaching posts and if submitted will not be taken into account during shortlisting to ensure a consistent approach for assessing all candidates. You should instead fully answer the question section with all relevant experience and skills.

The successful candidate will be required to be a member of the Protecting Vulnerable Groups Scheme (PVG) for Children. If your application is progressed after the interview, you will be asked to complete the form and have your details verified.

If you’ve got the right skills for the job we want to hear from you. We encourage applications from the right candidates regardless of age (restrictions apply to Modern Apprenticeships), disability, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, belief or race.
