Job overview
Strathallan School in Perthshire is seeking to appoint an enthusiastic, inspirational Teacher of History on a part-time, permanent basis from 25 August 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 History specialist to innovate and contribute to the future direction of this subject at Strathallan. An ability to teach other subjects, particularly Modern Studies, would be a distinct advantage.
Strathallan School is a leading co-educational boarding and day school with an excellent reputation academically, in sports and the arts. There are 545 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 ten 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, Harry Riley, in 1920 when he moved the School from its original 1913 location at Bridge of Allan.
There are currently ninety-four members of the teaching staff and ninety-three support staff.
The closing date for the receipt of completed applications is Friday, 4 June 2021 at 12 noon. Interviews are likely to be held week commencing 14 June 2021.
