Rector (Principal and Chief Executive)

Jordanhill is the only mainstream school in Scotland directly funded by the Scottish Government and operates independently of local authority control. It is an all-through primary and secondary school. The school roll is 462 Primary and 590 Secondary pupils. Although founded on strong traditions, the hallmark of Jordanhill is a forward-looking, dynamic and inclusive ethos providing the highest quality experience for children and young people.

Jordanhill School has a high reputation for strong pupil attainment and achievement founded on a rich curriculum and co-curricular activities delivered in excellent facilities on an impressive campus. Young people’s learning is supported by a strong staff team and supportive Board of Managers. We want someone who can build on and develop this impressive base. This is an opportunity suited to applicants with proven success at a senior level in the state or independent education sectors. All applicants should be registered or eligible for registration with the General Teaching Council for Scotland.

The successful candidate must demonstrate their Right to Work in the UK and will be required to apply for a Protection of Vulnerable Groups (PVG) Scheme Membership.

Further information about the school and the qualities being sought in the successful candidate can be found in the Information for Applicants pack.
