We are looking for a creative and innovative individual who will be able to apply their skills, knowledge and experience to support the development of pupil's literacy within our Enhanced Support Provision (ESP).

Over the last five years the attainment of the school has risen by 84%. Its three associated Primary Schools are Castleview, Niddrie Mill and Newcraighall. The roll of the school at June 2026 is 575. We moved into our new school building in April 2022. The catchment area is one of the most economically deprived in Edinburgh. The percentage of students who have registered free school meal entitlement is 42%. Pupils that are in Scottish Indicator of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD) deciles 1 and 2 make up 81% of the school. Our average SIMD is 1.47 - lowest in the authority. We are a forward-thinking school community and committed to developing and empowering colleagues as leaders of learning.
