Job overview
Currently, Midlothian has 6 secondary schools, 32 primary schools (19 of which have nurseries) and 2 stand alone nursery schools. Our special school, Saltersgate, provides support for children with a range of physical, social, emotional, behavioural and learning difficulties. The schools range in size from our smallest primary school with around 20 children to our largest secondary with over 1200 pupils. We have a diverse range of school catchments, from rural to urban settings. We are fortunate to have a growing number of new build schools, with 15 of our primary schools and 1 secondary having been built within the last 10 years and several new builds planned.
Dalkeith High School is a secondary school in Midlothian with a roll of approximately 900 students. The school’s catchment area covers the towns of Dalkeith, Eskbank, Danderhall, Pathhead and surrounding villages. The school also receives several placing requests as a result of its growing reputation based on the improvement in the attainment and achievements of its pupils. Dalkeith has a strong record as a school and provides a wide range of opportunities for learners.
Dalkeith is a small town in Midlothian a little over six miles south east of the centre of Edinburgh. Its centre is less than two miles by road from the Edinburgh bypass and this is one of the factors that have caused significant amounts of new housing to be built around the edges of the town in the last decade which will lead to a growth in school roll. There are very good public transport links with Edinburgh and, looking ahead, nearby Eskbank will regain a railway station when the Waverley Line from Edinburgh to the Borders is reopened, planned for 2016.
