Stockbridge Primary School

Stockbridge Primary is a City of Edinburgh local authority school. We are a non- denominational school and welcome children of all faiths or none, from ages 3 to 12. We are fortunate in enjoying extensive, flexible facilities in traditional yet modernised buildings. All class areas have interactive white boards installed.

The main school is housed in a listed Victorian building designed by award winning architect Rowan Anderson. In addition to the 7 classrooms in the main building there is a dining room/gym/assembly hall, a Support for Learning base, an Early Years Base, a Middle Years Base, Main School Office, Administration Room, Head Teacher’s Office, Management room, Resource room, Staff Room and Kitchen.

A Georgian annexe accommodates our Nursery, 2 classrooms, Staff Office, and a General Purpose room used for Drama, Music Cooking etc. This GP space also houses a school run Breakfast Club and an independent After School Club.

The school grounds include garden areas; picnic and seating areas, a sound garden, a Multi Use Games Area (MUGA), a trim trail, an adventure trail, a traversing wall as well as tarmac play areas.

Scotland’s curriculum – Curriculum for Excellence (CfE) – helps our children and young people gain the knowledge, skills and attributes needed for life in the 21st century. A refreshed narrative on Scotland’s curriculum, which sets CfE within the current context, was published in September 2019. It is available in both English and in Gaelic.

Curriculum for Excellence places learners at the heart of education. At its centre are four fundamental capacities. These capacities reflect and recognise the lifelong nature of education and learning. The four capacities are aimed at helping children and young people to become:

• Successful learners
• Confident individuals
• Responsible citizens
• Effective contributors
