Pupil Support Leader - Currie Community High School - 14524_1778595876

Currie Community High School is situated to the south west of the City of Edinburgh and serves the communities of Currie, Riccarton, Juniper Green and Baberton Mains. The school has served the local community for some 350 years. The school enjoys excellent links with the local community and as a designated community high school, a quality community programme is offered. The school's Qualification Scotland results are above both local and national averages and an extensive range of wider achievement opportunities are offered, where celebrating the success of our wonderful young people is at the heart of what we do.

We also recognise the importance of our school as a community and we have been recently awarded the Gold LGBT Charter Mark which we are very proud of. We are a proactively anti-racist school and are passionate about celebrating diversity, similarity and difference in our school. With over 49 languages spoken, we take the opportunity to embrace the rich cultural experiences of everyone in our school community. We are also working towards Rights Respecting School status, we hold a Silver Food For Life Catering award and have maintained Green Eco Schools status for 10 years.

Within our inclusion provision, we have an Enhanced Support Base where we support young people with severe and complex needs. This is a fantastic resource within our school where young people are not only thriving with the support they receive but also in mainstream classrooms. This is just a flavour of the innovative approaches which make Currie Community High School a unique, desirable and welcoming place to work.

The school will benefit from inspirational learning spaces and technology including high quality outdoor spaces to enable young people to continue to become leaders of their own learning and to experience a broad, varied and bespoke curriculum.

We are seeking a Pupil Support Leader to join our staff team until 26/06/2027. The strategic remit of this post will be to lead on our Developing the Young Workforce Strategy across the school.
