Dunbar Primary Gets New Global Head

Dunbar Primary, Scotland’s largest primary school, is welcoming new headteacher Grant Gillies in August—stepping in as longtime head Jacqui Mackinnon retires after nearly 40 years. Gillies, known for his international experience in Thailand, Qatar, and Rome, brings top-tier leadership from UK and global education systems, including recognition as a finalist for Primary School of the Year. With nearly 1,200 pupils across two campuses, the school’s education committee and council leaders are thrilled, praising his expertise and the community’s role in the hiring process.
