Teacher Primary (1.0fte)

We are seeking to appoint a full time permanent primary teacher to work within Moffat Academy Primary School.

Moffat Academy is a rural all through school in Dumfries and Galloway – the primary school has approximately 250 pupils.

Moffat Primary benefits from a new all-through building and is conveniently situated on the motorway network some 22 miles from Dumfries but within easy commuting distance from the central belt. A cluster management team oversees both Moffat Academy All through School and Beattock Primary School and this approach aims to provide a dynamic learning environment where all pupils are challenged and supported to reach their full potential both academically - but also in terms of wider achievement and participation.

A distinctive feature of the cluster is the emphasis given to ensuring high quality seamless transitions through the different sectors to ensure effective curriculum planning, assessment and progression from 3-18. The schools foster strong partnership working between staff in the different stages of the school, within our cluster and with parents and supportive community partners.

Applicants for teaching posts must be registered with the General Teaching Council for Scotland, Clerwood House, 96 Clermiston Road, Edinburgh, EH12 6UT in the appropriate sector.
