A Warm Welcome to Boroughmuir High School

Welcome to our thriving school community here in the heart of Edinburgh’s Fountainbridge area. As Head Teacher, I am delighted to introduce you to Boroughmuir High School—a place where every young person is valued, challenged, and supported to reach their full potential.

It’s a highly dynamic environment where all feel welcome. I’m very happy that my children enjoy school and both are doing very well with their academic achievements. They also see school as the main social activities provider enabling them to establish strong relationships with their peers.
