About the school:

Stonelaw High School is one of 17 Secondary Schools throughout South Lanarkshire Council.

South Lanarkshire Council is the fifth largest authority in Scotland. It covers the following main areas:
Clydesdale in the South which features extensive rural areas, Cambuslang, Rutherglen, Blantyre and Uddingston to the North as well as the towns of East Kilbride and Hamilton. The Council's Plan Connect sets out the Council's Vision to improve the quality of life for all within South Lanarkshire.

For both Education Resources and our school this means delivering services of the highest quality as well as striving to narrow the gap between those who achieve and those who do not.

One of the factors which are crucial to the success of any school is the partnership which is established with parents, and my hope is that this will be a useful first source of information for those parents who are making contact with the school for the first time.

We are a school of approximately 1000 pupils and 72 full time staff. We offer a wide range of educational experiences from traditional subjects to the extensive range of extra curricular activities, school trips and visits. We strive to provide a consistently high standard of education for all our young people. We have achieved a range of successes, winning national awards, gaining great success in many different fields.

The majority of our leavers will go on to College, University while the rest will go on to employment and training. There are many opportunities for pupils to succeed both in the academic and wider life of the school.

Subject to the policies and practice of the School and the Council, the duties of principal teachers are, in addition to any duties of a teacher that may apply, to:

(a) lead, manage and support the work of colleagues providing strategic direction and guidance as necessary;

(b) lead curriculum development and quality assurance;

(c) contribute to the development of school policy in relation to the behaviour management of pupils;

(d) review and support professional needs, and performance of colleagues through career-long professional learning;

e) where required, lead, implement and manage whole school policies including, where appropriate, guidance, pastoral care and behaviour support.

Principal Teachers must be given a reduction in weekly class contact to enable them to carry out those duties which are in addition to their duties as classroom teacher. Its extent may vary according to the nature and scope of those duties. The additional duties of principal teachers must be capable of being undertaken within the 35-hour working week and, where a principal teacher retains a classroom teacher role, within the arrangements agreed at establishment level through the working time agreement.
