At Wardie Primary School, we aim for all learners to be nurtured and championed to be the best they can be, reaching their potential through high standards in a respectful, caring and nurturing environment. The Principal Teacher needs to be committed to supporting all learners and their families and must be confident in supporting staff to achieve our shared vision.

The successful candidate should have experience in leading initiatives across the school community and be skilled in both leading and supporting colleagues to deliver high quality teaching, learning and assessment. As well as leading Wardie Primary’s Learning, Teaching and Assessment Framework, this role will also involve a full time class commitment in Primary 5 until June 2025.

We're committed to creating a workplace culture where all our people feel valued, included and able to be their best at work, and we recognise the benefits that a diverse workforce with different values, beliefs, experience, and backgrounds brings to us as an organisation.

As part of our goal to improve our organisational culture and create a great place to work together for the people of Edinburgh, we want to make sure that we’re bringing the best people into our roles, not just in their skills and experience but also in their approach to work.
