It was lovely to see so many parents / carers at our information session last night.

If you were unable to make it along, please pop in to the school office and collect an information pack. This includes a letter with information relating to your child’s class and teacher for Primary One. 

Below are some key slides from the presentation:

Update: Tuesday 7th May 2024

 

Parents / Carers should now have received confirmation letters of their child’s P1 school placement.

Families of children who have been allocated a Primary One place at Danderhall Primary have been posted an initial communication letter from the school. Please click here to view.

We ask that the enclosed Lunch Trial order form and Health and Wellbeing Information sheets are completed, and returned to the school office by Tuesday 4th June. 

 

Families who submitted placing requests to a non-catchment (including those with an Edinburgh / East Lothian home address), or denominational school should now also have received their decision letters. A parent/carer who is dissatisfied with the outcome of their request may submit an appeal to the Education Appeals Committee, the details of which have been provided in their letter. Please note that school staff are unable to assist with appeals, and decisions are not made at school level.
