Granton Waterfront has been identified as a Strategic Development Area in the Edinburgh City Plan 2030. The current plans show that new developments will eventually deliver more than 5,000 new homes.
A new primary school in Granton Waterfront was included as an action in the Local Development Plan in 2016 (now City Plan 2030). Proposals for the new neighbourhood include a large site within the main development zone for a new primary school and nursery.
A catchment area for the new primary school will be established following consultation. This new catchment area could result in changes to the existing catchment areas of Craigroyston Primary School, Granton Primary School, Pirniehall Primary School, Broughton High School, and Craigroyston Community High School.
Following the statutory consultation held between August and October 2024, we have now published the outcomes paper presenting the findings and recommendations to be considered by the City of Edinburgh Council on 19th December 2024.

This public consultation was conducted according to the requirements of the Schools (Consultation) (Scotland) Act 2010 and it ran between Thursday 22 August 2024 and until Thursday 3 October 2024
The new primary school is expected to open August 2028.
