Our schools are well resourced and fit for purpose. We have embraced the Curriculum for Excellence (CfE) and we will support you with its implementation. For you the CfE means pupils who are engaged, active and enjoying learning. There is more choice and personalisation and greater emphasis on skills for learning, work and life.
You will find lots of opportunities in West Lothian. With a growing population we are planning for the future with plans for new primary and secondary schools to meet demand. You will be supported through continuous professional development and training throughout your career.
Elizabeth Wells recently joined West Lothian Council as Head Teacher at Knightsbridge Primary School. Elizabeth says: “I have been very impressed with the quality of service since coming to West Lothian and the aspirations of all to continue to improve. The council is committed to developing leaders and there are opportunities for all teachers to develop leadership skills. The ICT strategy has impacted significantly in the classroom, enhancing learning throughout the curriculum and an ethos of collegiate working is evident at a school, cluster and authority level.”
