We are looking for a new Maths Teacher to join the Maths department at The Royal High School. The Royal High School is one of the oldest schools in Scotland, with a strong sense of history and a commitment to innovation. It is a non-denominational, 6-year comprehensive school, with students drawn from four catchment primary schools: Blackhall, Clermiston, Cramond, and Davidson's Mains.
The school was the subject of a HMIE inspection in December 2022. The Senior Leadership Team (SLT) comprises the Headteacher, four Depute Headteachers, and the Business Manager. The current teaching staff complement is 100 FTE, with 21 FTE staff other than teachers, including Pupil Support Assistants who support the integration of young people.
There is an integrated Additional Support for Learning Team combining the Guidance and Support for Learning teams, as well as our Enhanced Support and Wellbeing Bases. The school was refurbished in 2004 and enjoys a high standard of accommodation, although social areas are limited, and teaching space has to be rigorously timetabled. The facilities are used extensively outside of normal school hours by the school and the community.
The school is designated a Community Sports Hub, and the PE facilities were refurbished in 2015 to support this. There is an excellent extra-curricular programme, with partner clubs and staff offering a range of opportunities for young people to participate.
Due to our rising roll, we currently have six huts in our playground and a new extension opening Easter 2024. The school has positive links with parents, local businesses, and the local community. The Parent Council and Parent Fundraising Group play an important role in the life and work of the school. Meetings are well attended, and discussions are always lively and informative. The school is also supported by an active Former Pupils' Club.
