Job Description

Grade: Head Teacher 10

About the School:

Glenlee Primary School is situated in Burnbank, Hamilton. We are a 12 class school with a total of 335 pupils. The school also has a nursery that has recently been extended. If you look at photographs of the school, the egg shaped part of the school is where you will find the nursery.

We are fortunate to share the campus with Hamilton School for the Deaf. We strive to learn and work together and to have joint activities.
Our School is working towards the Nurturing Schools accreditation award. We are an Eco School.   Glenlee was one of the first schools in South Lanarkshire to achieve Gold status as a Health Promoting School. We aim to provide a wide range of opportunities for children to participate in active and fun clubs. 

There has been a Glenlee School on this site for over 100 years. The current building is the third. The first was demolished as it subsided due to mine working in the area. The new build was part of South Lanarkshire Council’s Modernisation programme. It was officially opened on the 12th November 2008 by Councillor David McLachlan, who was a former pupil at the school.
