On 17th August 2007, The Scotsman newspaper revealed the City of Edinburgh's proposals to close 13 primary schools, 3 secondary schools, 6 nurseries and 4 community schools in Edinburgh. One of the primary schools earmarked for closure is Stockbridge Primary School. The council's "Children and Families Propert Review report" can be viewed here.

Stockbridge primary school is a non-denominational co-educational, Local Authority Primary School for children between four and a half and 12 years of age. It is housed in a Victorian building on three floors and an annexe which accomodates the nursery. It is a very popular school and is operating at almost full capacity.
That's a photo at the top of the page. Nice isn't it. We certainly think so and we don't think it should close.
Stockbridge Primary school is a good school. Parents like sending their children there, teachers like teaching there and, most of all, the children like being taught there. It is right at the heart of our community and it should not close.
