Job overview
The Aims of the School
Hutchesons' Grammar School aims to provide boys and girls with a broad Scottish education, with the emphasis on academic excellence.
Founded in 1641, Hutchesons’ is a famous school, which has always been at the forefront of teaching and learning in Scotland. Nowadays, it is a large and dynamic school of great vitality and diversity, where around 1250 pupils from pre-school right through to sixth year follow a broad curriculum, blending the traditional and the modern. Excellent teachers are one of Hutchesons’ greatest strengths, along with the resources, training and support they need to do their job to the highest possible standards.
Hutchesons’ pupils excel in a wide variety of sports both nationally and internationally, and the quality of performance in music, drama and the arts is equally high. All pupils can follow a structured programme in and out of the classroom, which broadens their outlook and helps them develop their interests and enthusiasms. There are many opportunities for involvement in clubs and societies, community work and charity fund-raising, visits and tours both within the UK and abroad, and for the Duke of Edinburgh award scheme.
As individuals, Hutchesons’ pupils are encouraged to develop confidence, self-discipline, integrity, courtesy and consideration for others. They are part of a large community of learners, where every individual is important. They learn to be thoughtful, articulate and well-read and to have a clear idea about how they want to live their lives beyond school and university.
Scots have always valued education very highly, and for nearly four centuries Hutchesons’ has sent young men and women out into the world secure in the knowledge that they are part of that tradition.
We are seeking to appoint an experienced Teacher of Business and an interest or experience in teaching Economics and Accounting would be an advantage, although support will be available to the right candidate with less experience.
This post is for 1 year on fixed-term contract (0.5-0.8 FTE) (Maternity Cover) commencing in August 2021. The successful candidate will hold a relevant teaching qualification and will be able to bring enthusiasm, expertise and commitment to this lively and highly successful department.

About Hutchesons' Grammar School
Hutchesons’ Grammar School has been a Glasgow institution for almost 400 years and when our pupils leave us in Sixth year they do so knowing they belong to the wider Hutchie community.
A common trait of all Hutchie pupils is the desire to achieve to their best abilities in whichever area their talents lie. This desire to achieve is the heartbeat of Hutchie. We are rightly proud of our reputation for academic excellence. This year 68% of all S5 Highers were awarded grade A. An impressive 40% of S5 pupils received 5 A grades or more and 20% gained 6 Highers at grade A.
However, a Hutchesons’ education offers so much more and many of our pupils excel in the Arts. Our state of the art, drama studios offer pupils the chance to hone performance skills, while our art pupils regularly make the finals of national competitions. And with over 300 pupils learning musical instruments there are enormous opportunities to play or sing in over 20 orchestras, bands, chamber ensembles and choirs. In four out of the last five years all SQA Higher Music exams were awarded grade A.
Our sports facilities are already among the best in the country and we are now investing over the next three years to improve them further. In the last year our pupils have represented Scotland in Hockey, Athletics, Rowing, Football, Squash and Karate. At Hutchie we believe Fitness and health for life is a habit to begin early.
Learning at Hutchie begins in our new Pre-school class and continues with a strong focus on Literacy and Numeracy throughout Primary. The opportunities for learning in Secondary are vast and we have a robust pastoral care system in place to support our pupils as they journey through school. We also run a large variety of clubs and societies across both the Primary and Secondary. Almost four centuries on from when the school first opened its doors we continue to nurture our Founders’ vision and encourage our pupils to aspire to be honest, resilient, independent, curious, creative and compassionate to others.
Belong and Achieve at Hutchesons’.
