Teacher of English

Arran High School is a mixed, non-selective, non-denominational, 11-18 secondary school with sixth form, situated in the village of Lamlash on the Isle of Arran, in North Ayrshire. The low number of school-age students living on the island means there are 244 students on the school roll. The secondary school has very strong links with the seven associated primaries which – together with Arran High School – form the Arran cluster group. A new school was opened in January 2008 and was funded through the Public Private Partnership programme.
