Position: Acting Principal Teacher for Positive Destinations
Role: I support young people moving on after secondary school to ensure they reach their full potential and a positive destination. I work alongside a fantastic team (SDS, Heads of House, Deputes) to ensure our pupils have all the skills needed for life, learning and work. At Falkirk High School we are passionate about helping people unleash their full potential and actively pursue relevant experiences for our young people to get them ready for their next transition beyond school. This can mean different things to different young people from foundation apprenticeships, college courses, university, to the world of work and more.
