In October 2016 the school moved into a superb new building on Milton Road close to rail, bus and road links. This post represents a great opportunity for the right person to join a large staff team and work in a truly comprehensive setting.

In our new building, this will be enhanced by 80’’ teaching screens connected to Apple TV. A number of innovative approaches have been adopted to help our young people develop the skills and attributes required to make successful post school transitions. The school has well-established links with its community and the proximity of Edinburgh College, four Universities and all that the Scotland’s capital city has to offer gives scope for the development of further partnerships.

Salaries will be in accordance with the Scheme of Salaries and Conditions of Service for Teaching Staff in School Education.
