Why choose teaching?

A career in teaching provides good prospects for career development and offers a competitive salary, but it also allows you to be the catalyst to developing each individual child’s full potential.

Newly qualified teachers in their probation year currently start on a salary of £22,416. Once fully registered, salaries rise by annual increments over the first five years from £26,895 to £35,763.

Teachers also have good opportunities for promotion. Head teachers in Scotland’s largest schools can earn up to £86,319.

Make a difference in a child’s life

Being a teacher is about more than what you learned at university. Teachers have a wealth of skills and experience, and schools will make sure teachers have the chance to use these skills in the classroom. Whether you have a interesting talent or have worked in another profession, your skills can help give your students a more rounded education.

Scottish policy is focused on developing students’ breadth of knowledge and practical skills, not just their test scores. The Curriculum for Excellence (CfE) offers students a more flexible range of subjects and courses, giving them more opportunities to discover their talents, passions, and futures.
