Our School and Nursery
Colinton is a small, friendly, neighbourhood school in the south of the city of Edinburgh. It is a single storey building built in 1967.
At present we have around 190 pupils in school and a Nursery with 40
part -time places (20 morning places and 20 afternoon places).
There are 14 rooms, which provide accommodation for 8 classrooms, the
nursery, a support for learning base, a library, a science room, a music
room and an ICT suite.
We have a dining area situated beside our P2 and 3 classrooms. There is
a large multipurpose hall in the centre of the building.
The ICT suite has 15 Apple Mac computers and all classrooms have at least 1 computer.
The playground has some seating and there is a soft play area in a small courtyard for the younger children. There is a well tended garden area which surrounds the infants soft play area. To the front of the school is a grass area which has a small active play area. The playing field adjacent to the school is used by senior pupils and it is enclosed and easily supervised by Learning Assistants.
