Facilities Officer - Glasgow, United Kingdom - Hutchesons's Grammar School

Description

The Aims of the School

Hutchesons' Grammar School aims to provide boys and girls with a broad Scottish education, with the emphasis on academic excellence.

Founded in 1641, Hutchesons' is a famous school which has always been at the forefront of teaching and learning in Scotland.

Nowadays, it is a large and dynamic school of great vitality and diversity, where nearly 1400 pupils from primary one right through to sixth year follow a broad curriculum, blending the traditional and the modern.

Experienced teachers are one of Hutchesons' greatest strengths, along with the resources they need to do their job to the highest possible standards.

Hutchesons' pupils excel in a wide variety of sports both nationally and internationally, and the quality of performance in music, drama and the arts is equally high.

All pupils can follow a structured programme in and out of the classroom which broadens their outlook and helps them develop their interests and enthusiasms.

There are many opportunities for involvement in clubs and societies, community work and charity fund-raising, visits and tours both within the UK and abroad, and for the Duke of Edinburgh award scheme.

As individuals, Hutchesons' pupils are encouraged to develop confidence, self-discipline, integrity, courtesy and consideration for others. They are part of a large community of learners, where every individual is important.

They learn to be thoughtful, articulate and well-read and to have a clear idea about how they want to live their lives beyond school and university.

Scots have always valued education very highly, and for over three centuries Hutchesons' has sent young men and women out into the world secure in the knowledge that they are part of that tradition.
