Also not mentioned in the job advert is that you'll be headteacher in Scotland's first community-owned school building: designed, funded & built by local people) 👇

Headteacher wanted for Strontian Primary School!
(not immediately obvious from the job advert, which titles it Head Teacher (3-18), Ardnamurchan High School, but it definitely includes the primary school, which is a separate school & building).

ICYMI last week - we have a deer problem so without robust guards, we can't plant trees 🙁
6 Mar 2025
With Spring approaching we hope to do some tree planting around the grounds with the school children.
We're looking to source some 1800mm x 600mm weldmesh tree guards for this. If anyone can donate some (or offer them at a reduced price) we'd be very grateful 🙏

"A culture of cooperation"
Good to see @LocalPeopleLead pick up on our story as featured recently in @heraldscotland scottishcommunityalliance.or…

One of the most inspiring projects I have seen in H&I, but the sheer graft that went into this by @StrontianCSB alongside @CHTScotland shouldn't be underestimated. Needless to say, it shouldn't have been as hard as it was considering the goal and benefits.

"All we have done is take the somewhat controversial PFI model and turn it into a CFI model where either we don't make any profit or if we do make a profit that stays within the community.”

Two communities that have been denied school 🏫 rebuilds and upgrades are considering following the historic lead of Strontian, which raised £1million to build its own @StrontianCSB heraldscotland.com/news/2405…

We are so chuffed to be shortlisted for @scotcivictrust award!! An Laimhrig was a huge island effort. Hours of community meetings to agree & plan it, then a build programme including Covid & some truly terrible weather. We love & are so very proud of our EPC A rated buildings.

Our school is looking for a new headteacher (jointly with Ardnamurchan High School - the post is 3-18 campus head).
Do you want to be head of the only community-built school in Scotland? (of course you do....!) s1jobs.com/job/head-teacher-…

A heads-up that our AGM will be held this year on Monday 30 October - formal notice will be issued by the Secretary shortly.
But do you know what else makes this a particularly special day for us? Reply with your answers!

And the AHS team included a @StrontianP alumnus! 👏

A big shout out for Ardnamurchan High School who came first equal in the Scottish Schools Geography quiz yesterday, but then lost the tie break.
(But as the other school was a private one, I think we can claim the moral victory 😉)
