Our School

Our School

Hermitage Park is a very happy and popular school serving the Leith area of Edinburgh. It was opened on the 9th May 1910 and over the years has carved out a very special place in the local community.
In 1988 the school benefitted from a major and badly needed upgrading programme. The building has been transformed into a bright, stimulating envoronment for all our pupils.
Since this upgrade, we have added a state of the art computer suite and library.
At present we have a total of 378 pupils in our 14 primary classes, with a morning nursery class of 30 and and afternoon nursery class of 30, making a total of 438.

Our School Aims

1. We aim to make our school a happy place where our children feel secure.

2. We aim to foster our children's self-esteem, so that each child feels valued as an
individual.

3. We aim to ensure that parents and staff work together, so that our children receive an education of the highest quality, where they are enabled to make the most of every opportunity to develop their skills and abilities to the full.

4. To this end, we aim to provide, for each child, high quality teaching and learning experiences which are both challenging and suite to individual needs, so that our pupils attain the highest educational standards of which they are capable.

5. We will encourage our pupils to be aware of their role in the community to which they belong, and their place in the world as a whole.
