Howden St. Andrew’s Primary is a denominational school established in February 1970. It has a Nursery Class and stages P1-P7 with a current roll of 338, led by an enthusiastic and forward-thinking Senior Leadership team. The catchment area serves Howden, Craigshill, Ladywell, and Livingston Village. The shared vision, values, and aims ensure that a relationship-based approach and well-being are the priorities for learners, families, and staff. Howden St. Andrew’s is currently situated in SIMD 2, therefore the catchment includes some areas of high deprivation. Howden St. Andrew’s strives to build up the whole school community, providing measures for excellence and equity.
We are seeking an enthusiastic practitioner to join the team in the nursery, which is open 50 weeks per year, with staff working on a rota across the opening hours.
