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 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. We strive to build the whole school community, providing measures for excellence and equity.
Howden St. Andrew's is part of the local community both educationally and socially. There are active and effective Parish-Community links through St. Andrew's Parish Church in Craigshill. Additionally, there are strong links with St. Margaret's Academy and the cluster primary schools. Howden St. Andrew's has an active Parent Council and works closely with partner agencies to meet the needs of the whole school community.
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.
