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.

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, Sensory Room and our Nurture Base, called ‘The Hive’. The main building also houses the School Office, Head Teacher and Business Manager’s office, Depute Head Teacher’s office, Staff Room and Kitchen.

Our Georgian annexe accommodates our Nursery, 2 classrooms, Service Support Officer’s office, and a General Purpose room used for Drama, Music and is also our breakfast club. This GP space also houses an independent After School Club, Daddy Day Care.

This year purpose-built annex houses our P1 class.

The school grounds include picnic and seating areas, a Multi Use Games Area (MUGA), a trim trail, a traversing wall as well as tarmac play areas. We have 2 open bike sheds and a scooter store area.

Our Nursery has capacity for 40 children and is led by our Early Years Officer, Mrs Nikki Morgan. Stockbridge Nursery is a child led Nursery, focused on the success of each individual. Our staff are passionate about play based learning and strive to create the best opportunities for our Nursery families and children.
