Principal teacher

A Principal Teacher (PT), is a promoted post within Scottish state schools. A Principal Teacher is a member of the school's middle leadership team, and is not the same as a School Principal in other countries. Principal Teachers usually report to a Depute Head Teacher within larger schools, or directly to the Head Teacher in smaller schools. Principal Teachers may be appointed in Primary schools, Secondary schools, Additional Support for Learning schools, and at local authority level.

Not to be confused with Head teacher.

A Principal Teacher may or may not have a teaching commitment, although all Principal Teachers are fully registered teachers with the General Teaching Council for Scotland.
