Preston Lodge High School is a non-denominational secondary school serving the communities of Cockenzie, Port Seton, Longniddry and Prestonpans. Our roll is currently 1060, and the school is very easily commutable from Edinburgh. The strengths of our school are:
The high morale, sense of belonging and positive ethos of the school community
The contributions of young people to improvements and our improvements in many Insight measures.
The nurturing, inclusive work of staff across the school in supporting young people’s learning and wellbeing
The strong, positive relationships between staff and students
Our motivated staff, students, parents, carers, and the community we serve, have worked hard to further improve all aspects of our school. We are a happy school, and new staff report very positively on our school’s culture and ethos. At a time of great uncertainty in education, we work together to provide the best education possible for all of our students.
Languages have made a significant contribution to much-improved attainment, and we have a major focus on ensuring that all students achieve five qualifications before leaving. Last session we were pleased that only three students left school without five qualifications. Our new PT Equity keeps all staff focused on closing the attainment gap, and Languages have a key role to play in that area.
This post - with more responsibility than the other - has line management responsibility for all English and Modern Languages staff, but only subject responsibility for English. Working closely with the PT Languages who has subject responsibility for Modern Languages is a key role for the successful candidate.
This is an exciting time for Preston Lodge High School, and the community it serves. Further details about the school can be found on our website at
