What makes our School Different?

Monday, 15 October 2007
Children with Flags on Leith LinksLeith Primary is an amazing and historic building right on the edge of Leith Links.  Although the building hosts a number of different users the school has very spacious and flexible accommodation.  There are music rooms, a games room, a library and an art and practical room.

The school truly reflects its catchment area.  We are proud of the diversity of the children and families we serve.  We are proud of the quality of education we provide for all children. We have an excellent record in providing care, support and challenge for all pupils.  We promote positive behaviour, respect for all and encourage a positive attitude to learning.  

If you would like to see more please arrange a visit through the office.

'I had fun flipping Gurmaneik and getting him on the ground.' Danny

'My favourite bit was when we went back to back and had to try and get our partner turned over on their back.' Thomas

'I thought Judo was fun because I like doing rolls and wrestling.' Iskra

'It was fun. Finlay was very good and so was Calum.' Kathleen

The Edinburgh International Book Festival

Friday, 03 September 2010
bookfest2010-3.jpgWe were all excited, and then Mrs Moloney met us outside at 12.45pm. We had a hilarious time. We saw Kjartan Poskitt. He showed us some maths tricks. He was really mad. The whole crowd invented the number M. Chloe was demonstrating at the front. She had to cut up some paper, She was laughing.
We all thought we would have time for the bookshop but we didn't. Mrs Moloney was really sorry.
I thought it was really good and funny even though we didn't get to buy a book. I give it five stars.
Morven, Colin and Liam

FoLP

Friday, 03 September 2010
Do you have ideas for fundraising for the school. Are there opportunities that you think the pupils are missing out on? Can you help with after school activities, for example a Leith Primary School football club, sponsorship or an arts and crafts club? Do you want to make a difference? FoLP is looking for additional members. It could be someone to help with teas and coffees at fundraising events, or juice and biscuits at the Halloween disco. It could be someone who is annoyed at the reduced funding for the school. Maybe you just want to know more about what we do. The next meeting is on Wednessday 15th September at 7pm. The meeting will last around an hour and a half. Tea and coffee will be provided. You don't need to speak and it may not be for you, but come along and hear about our plans for the forthcoming year. We look forward to seeing you there.
