A wonderful opportunity has arisen for a skilled and creative Principal Teacher to join our dynamic team at Frogston Primary School. Prior leadership experience would be desirable. This post has a full teaching commitment.
Frogston Primary opened in August 2020. The school is situated within the new housing development to the south of Frogston Road East with an outstanding new building and extensive, beautifully landscaped grounds. We use our environment, both indoors and out, to promote excitement, innovation, creativity and independence in all teaching and learning opportunities. The school has experienced rapid growth and is currently being extended. The extension works are due to be completed during the current school session. This will increase our capacity to 620 pupils, alongside our early learning and childcare facility with capacity for 112 pupils. We currently have seventeen classes from P1 to Primary 7 with around 460 pupils.
