History

The school was founded in 1912.[2]

Gaelic Medium Education

[edit | edit source]

The school opened a Gaelic Medium Education Unit in 1989, which offered the only Gaelic medium primary education in Edinburgh and the Lothians until this medium got its own facility called Bun-sgoil Taobh na Pàirce situated at the old Bonnington primary building.[3]

The last class of Gaelic speakers graduated in 2013.[4]
