Bathgate Academy is a comprehensive non-denominational school and serves a cluster of five primary schools.

The school roll is currently 1150 and this is steadily rising due to housing developments within the area and an ever-increasing confidence from the community about the standard of education we provide.

We are keen to employ a diverse workforce that reflects the people of Scotland.
