Teacher of Maths

Preston Lodge High School is a non-denominational secondary school serving the communities of Cockenzie, Port Seton, Longniddry, Prestonpans and the surrounding area. Our roll is currently 1015. In June 2010 we were inspected by HMIE.  They identified the particular strengths of the school as:

• The high morale and improving ethos of the school community
• The contributions of young people to improvements in the climate for learning
• The work of staff across the school in supporting young people’s learning
• The strong leadership of the Headteacher on school improvement.

The report was very positive and has given us a strong base for our development in future years.  Our motivated staff, students, parents and the community we serve are working hard to further improve all aspects of what is already a very good school.  We are currently involved in an exciting partnership with Cramlington Learning Village in Northumberland which is engaging all our staff in a fundamental examination of lesson planning and practice.

One of our key aims is to maximise achievement and attainment for all our students.  Examination results are improving and last summer our S5 secured the best Higher results the school has achieved in many years.

We are working hard to further improve all aspects of what is already a very good school.  A key priority for us in this work is securing and retaining the highest quality of new staff.

Further details about the school can be found on our website at  www.prestonlodge.net.
