We are proud to lead Edinburgh and am committed to our school vision For all our children to develop socially, emotionally and intellectually in a safe and equitable environment enabling them to become successful, lifelong learners.
This vision is achieved through providing a secure and happy learning environment in which everyone shows respect for themselves and others. We encourage all children to work to their potential enabling them to become learners who are:
We support the development of social communication skills to allow children to become secure, positive members of the community. We promote equality and positive attitudes towards the social, cultural and religious diversity within the school and community both locally and globally.
Our school values underpin all that we do; with a commitment from all members of our school community to live out these values. Our values are as follows: Respect, Unity, Tolerance, Acceptance, Democracy, Equality, Justice, Liberty and the rule of law.
Safeguarding Officers have undertaken appropriate training for the role as recommended by the Local Authority. The safety and well-being of your child is of utmost importance to our school. We recognize that all staff and governors have an active part to play in protecting our pupils from harm and that the child’s welfare must be our paramount concern. All staff are trained in basic safeguarding procedures as part of their induction.
The curriculum celebrates diversity and utilises the skills, knowledge and cultural wealth of the community while supporting the children’s spiritual, moral, social and cultural development, ensuring that children are well prepared for life in modern Britain. Implementation The curriculum incorporates the statutory requirements of the National Curriculum 2014 and other experiences and opportunities which best meet the learning and developmental needs of the children in our school.
A themed curriculum approach has been implemented at the school to ensure coverage and progression in a number of curriculum areas. This approach enables project-based learning, fostering each child’s curiosity and interest throughout each topic and also enabling the achievement of depth in knowledge and skills. Opportunities for child voice are planned throughout each new topic and this is used to inform the learning for each topic to ensure relevance.
The curriculum provides children with memorable experiences (such as our fabulous finish days), in addition to diverse and rich opportunities from which children can learn and develop a range of transferable skills. Arts and music have a high profile in the school and children have the opportunity to be taught to play an instrument in lessons from music specialists and we have weekly music lessons. A varied timetable for extra-curricular activities is offered by the school, with clubs that support the core curriculum offer.
A primary focus of our curriculum is to raise aspirations, engender a sense of personal pride in achievement, and provide a purpose and relevance for learning. The school takes pride in providing a highly inclusive environment, where learners demonstrate high levels of enjoyment in their education and most make very good progress in most subjects and areas of learning. Children at all levels are helped to achieve their potential. Those who are most able are challenged and supported through being offered tasks which provide opportunities for greater depth and those who struggle are encouraged and given targeted support to embed skills, to develop at their own pace or simply to learn in a style that best suits their individual needs.
Subject leaders play an important part in the success of the curriculum by leading a regular programme of monitoring, evaluation and review and the celebration of good practice contributes to the ongoing commitment to evolve and improve further. All subject leaders are given training and the opportunity to keep developing their own subject knowledge, skills and understanding, so they can support curriculum development and their colleagues throughout the school.

Edinburgh is an amazing primary school. Many family members have been taught here. The new school provides a modern learning environment for pupils with passionate and experienced teachers. The after-school clubs help working parents and my children thoroughly enjoy attending some of these clubs. Edinburgh is a large diverse school, ensuring their pupils develop discipline, confidence and feel inclusive. Have no hesitation in recommending this school to local parents.
