You can find out pretty much anything in our online handbook including opening times, term dates and information about school life. Term starts for P1 pupils on Wednesday 12th August 2026 (pupils attend full hours from that date). In due course, we will post and email information about our transition events to parents and carers.
P1 Learning starts with Play
Primary schools across Edinburgh are working hard to ensure that all children will have the best start to Primary 1. Your child’s P1 classroom will have lots of opportunities for play and learning. The most important thing at the start will be making sure that everyone feels welcomed and finds something they enjoy at school. Your child will be supported and encouraged into their new class, with lots of chances to build relationships, make friends and play to learn. Please find more information about play below.
