Maybury Primary School is a new school in the west of Edinburgh which is due to open
in August 2024. In its first year, the school will have Primary One children and an early
learning and childcare setting opening in January 2025. Within the school, there are
modern, flexible and creative learning spaces for up to 630 learners, along with our
early learning and childcare setting which has a capacity for 124 children across a mix
of term-time and full-year places.
Maybury Primary School will be Edinburgh’s first school to share a campus with a
medical centre as part of Maybury Community Hub. Sustainability and outdoor
learning are central features of the building design, and these will be brought to life as
a key part of our learning experiences.
This is an exciting opportunity for a skilled and enthusiastic teacher to come and join
our senior leadership team to work closely with the Head Teacher to bring the school
to life in the heart of a new community. The Principal Teacher will also deputise in the
Head Teacher’s absence.
