Primary Teacher (One Year Fixed Term Maternity Cover)

Dollar Academy seeks to appoint a suitably qualified primary teacher to teach in our Junior School to cover a period of maternity leave. This post will commence mid-February 2025.

Dollar Academy, named Independent School of the Year 2024, is a long-established coeducational independent HMC school situated in the heart of central Scotland. With 1350 pupils ranging from ages 5 to 18, including boarders, the Academy is known for its academic excellence, beautiful setting, and state-of-the-art facilities.

The Prep and Junior Schools, with around 350 pupils, play a key role in providing an outstanding educational experience. The Prep School consists of ten classes (two parallel groups from P1 to P5), while the Junior School is housed in its own dedicated building, comprising seven classes. Junior 1 and Junior 2 (P6 and P7) are important entry stages that prepare pupils for a seamless transition to our Senior School. This approach is part of our commitment to offering curricular continuity from age 5 through to 18, benefiting learners with consistent academic progression.

We invite applications from passionate and qualified teachers interested in contributing to our vibrant learning environment. The Academy has a rich co-curricular programme in which all members of staff are expected to participate.
