Blairgowrie High School currently has a role of approximately 800 young people. Working together we strive to encourage and help all young people to ASPIRE to be the best they can.  We aim to provide a positive learning environment for staff and pupils and our school motto is “Learning together today to shape the world of tomorrow”.

Blairgowrie High School is the sole secondary school for East Perthshire, and covers a wide catchment area of beautiful landscapes. For leisure time, the area offers many wonderful opportunities for outdoor pursuits and pastimes but is close enough to Perth and Dundee if it is city pursuits you are after.  To the West we extend almost to Dunkeld; to the North our area stretches up Glenshee past the Spittal, to the border with Aberdeenshire Council; to the East our area extends to the Angus border and finally to the South-East, Tullybaccart – the highest point on the road between Coupar Angus and Dundee – is our boundary with Dundee Council.

Our associated Primary Schools are Alyth, Burrelton, Coupar Angus, Glendelvine, Kettins, Kirkmichael, Meigle, Newhill, Rattray and St Stephen’s.  

If you would like further information about this exciting job opportunity, please contact the Depute Headteacher, Lawrie Stewart on 01250 871200.

Please note, should you be invited to attend interview, you will be asked to provide 2 references, one of which must be your current or most recent head teacher.  If you are already employed as a teacher with Perth & Kinross Council, you are only required to provide 1 reference, which must be from your current head teacher.

As Perth & Kinross Council operate an open reference policy, the onus will be on you to provide us with your references.  You should print off the job profile and reference form and give them to your referees for completion.  (An alternative is to save it and e-mail it to your referees).  It is also important to include the reference number of the post on the pro-forma.  The references should then be presented to the chair of the interview panel when you attend.
