Yay!!! The best primary school in Edinburgh!!! : ) our little girl is a pupil and on first hand…read moreexperience, I wish my school was like this when I was little. Their are so many after school clubs, trips away, sports activities and all in a very impressive building. This is a school with good morals.

St Peter's Primary is an excellent school, with one of the top attainment levels in Edinburgh. A…read morevisit to the school will immediately impress you with the warmth of the welcome from the Head Teacher. The high standards, in terms of the pupils' behaviour, manners, and uniform are evident, as is the variety of work and achievements displayed. The ethos is caring, inclusive and there are many opportunities for pupils to grow their confidence and self esteem. The school fosters a positive environment to develop all pupils to maximise their individual potential. I have had 3 children, all with different abilities, benefit from a rounded education at St Peter's. The pupils and the committed teaching staff are all very proud of their school, and this is clear to everyone within the school and to external visitors.. Parental engagement is high, reflected in the supportive Parent Council, PTA, and the wide variety of activities parents are encouraged to be involved in within the school. Working together, staff, parents and pupils, St Peter's is just like a big, welcoming, extended family which you will always be part of.

Not just great academic, great discipline, great enviroment, everyone must wear uniform to look…read morethe same that's one of the important for me, but one of the most impressive building, I guess most parents never thought to write a review, I didn't think either, until now. This school deserves full marks 5 not less than 5. At P 3 my son needed learning support, the school informed, at no extra fee. I was most impressed for such a closed attention. My son was at this school from nursery -S 6. He did well. Review is about the total quality of service and standards of education. Nothing to do with the fee. You have the choice free school or pay school. I must say that it's worth of my money and every penny I spent. This is what I want my son to be educated in this type of environment and good academic background. I myself from Thailand, everyone have uniform no matter which school. All fee paying schools are good academic and good environment, great teachers, good standard facilities. I have been to a few government schools - all good, but I still happy to pay for education as long as we can afford it. The School offers 5%? discont can't remember a long time ago - if pay in full yearly. Even no discount, we still think it's worth the money. My son has gained PhD, in Machanical Engineering with the job he loves and earn a living. I am now very happy with the study background he's got from this school that led him to go further. Thank you so much once again to all Heriots'teachers, they strive for the maximum results and aim for maximum performance for their pupils. Kids can do well when they are happy at school and happy home, supportive parents no matter which school. I see those who don't achieve, it's not the school's fault. The school gives the best whether kids want to aim high or not.

I don't suggest the average person decide to enroll in this day school, or pay an impromptu visit,…read morebecause as beautiful as it is to look at, it is definitely a monument still in use! I've walked past this ancient building everytime I go down Lauriston Place from the George Square university area, and I'm always amazed that some kids actually get to go to school in Hogwarts. And I'm a little bit jealous as well. The grounds are massive, and I doubt those little children really deserve such a beautiful academic environment. Honestly though, the oldest students there are probably just a year or two younger than I am, but I'll rant on anyway! The school was commissioned by George Heriot, and it's a little sad to think such a place, with it's wonderful renaissance architecture, started off as a charitable institution for children, but is now a fee paying school. Nevertheless, they have open days on in September, should you really want to explore the school.
