About schools in Scotland
UKTeachingJobs covers 2,427 schools across Scotland's 33 council areas — primary, secondary and special schools (around 1,943 primary and 334 secondary). Each profile brings together pupil and staffing data, inspection information and the local council context.
Scottish schools are inspected by Education Scotland (HM Inspectors), not Ofsted, so you won't find Ofsted-style single-word grades here. We show Education Scotland inspection information where it has been published.
Browse by council area or town to explore schools and see the latest open teaching jobs nearby — useful whether you're starting a teaching career in Scotland or comparing local schools.
Information is drawn from the Scottish Government, Education Scotland and the Improvement Service, under the Open Government Licence.
