Teach Science in Scotland
We need a Science teacher for a top private school (mixed sex) on the beautiful south east coast of Scotland for a September start. Chemistry or Physics ideally but other specialisms considered.
The School is located in an impressive and attractive 150 acre estate in the temperate climate of Moray. It is six miles from Elgin, a town of some 25,000 population which has a British Rail main-line station. Inverness or Aberdeen, to which there are regular flights from most UK airports, are within one and two hours respectively, and there is straightforward access on good roads to Edinburgh, Glasgow and the rest of Scotland.
The Senior School has 500 students aged 13 to 18, almost all of whom are full boarders. There are approximately 300 boys and 200 girls and the School has been fully co-educational for thirty five years. Aberlour House, the Junior School situated on the same campus, has 115 pupils aged 8-13. Each year approximately 60 students join at Year 9 (13-plus) and 60 come into the Sixth Form. A third of the students are resident in Scotland, a third in other parts of the United Kingdom and a third in other parts of the world. Almost all students in the School proceed to take three A-Levels at the end of their career, and over 90% each year move on to Higher Education.
The underlying philosophy of the School is that of holistic education – the full and individual development of the potential of every student. Thus, while the academic environment of the School is strong, the development of other attributes – physical, cultural, social and spiritual – is considered no less important and has equal emphasis placed upon it. Success in achieving this is ensured by the range of the School's activities and opportunities (listed in the prospectus), excellent facilities, an extremely generous student/staff ratio and a highly committed staff. The essential elements of School's distinctive ethos are internationalism, responsibility, challenge and service. Holidays are long but, during term time, members of staff devote themselves unstintingly to the welfare of the students and the success of the School. Involvement in school life in the broadest sense is expected from all full-time members of staff.
