Job overview
Strathallan School in Perthshire is seeking to appoint an enthusiastic, inspirational Teacher of Chemistry on a part-time, permanent basis from January or April 2021. The post will require teaching middle and senior school pupils from age 8 to 18. The school offers A Levels, Highers, Advanced Highers and GCSEs. The post presents an exciting opportunity for a dynamic and hardworking Chemistry specialist to innovate and contribute to the future direction of this subject at Strathallan.
Strathallan School is a leading co-educational boarding and day school with an excellent reputation academically, in sports and the arts. There are 540 pupils of ages 8-18, divided between Strathallan Prep School (Riley), the three senior Girls' Houses and the four senior Boys' Houses. Approximately 60% of the pupils are boarders.
The School is situated in the beautiful Earn valley as a self-contained wooded estate of 150 acres on the edge of the village of Forgandenny. Perth is the nearest town some twelve minutes away by car and access to the motorways puts Edinburgh (45 mins), Glasgow (1 hr) and the Scottish Highlands within easy reach.
The school is well-resourced with a mixture of traditional and modern buildings. The Main Building, a Grade B listing, was once a large private mansion, bought by the School’s founder in 1920 when he moved the School from its original 1913 location.
There are currently ninety-four members of the teaching staff and ninety-three support staff.
Non-teaching support staff are organised into the following departments: Administration, Finance, Domestic Services, Estates, Grounds, IT, External Relations, Catering and Medical. The Head of each Department (bar External Relations) is responsible to the Bursar for the efficient running of the Department and staff performance. External Relations are responsible to the Director of ER, who, like the Headmaster and Bursar, is a member of the School’s Executive. The Headmaster, Bursar and Director of EF are accountable to the Board of Governors for all aspects of the running and management of the School.
