Common questions
Is living in Gilmerton Primary School catchment guaranteed admission?
No — Edinburgh catchments give priority for admission, not a guarantee. Catchment children are placed first, but at oversubscribed schools even catchment children can be turned down after siblings and exceptional cases. Most primaries do place all catchment children; the council's official wording is that they cannot always guarantee a place at one of your catchment schools.
How do I confirm my address is in Gilmerton Primary School catchment?
Check by full address — not just postcode — using the City of Edinburgh Council's interactive catchment map at edinburgh.gov.uk/catchmentmap. Two flats on the same street can fall in different catchments, so always confirm before signing a lease. If you're cutting it close to a boundary, contact the council's school admissions team directly.
Which streets are in Gilmerton Primary School catchment?
Streets in Gilmerton Primary School catchment include Affleck Way, Badger Way, Bain Rigg, Bain Street, Bannerman Cruick, Bannerman Terrace, Bannerman Way and Beale Drive — 120 streets in total, all listed on this page. The catchment covers Gilmerton. Boundary lines can cut through individual streets, so for an address right on the edge confirm by full postcode at edinburgh.gov.uk/catchmentmap.
Which secondary school does Gilmerton Primary School feed into?
Children at Gilmerton Primary School typically progress to Liberton High School at secondary. Edinburgh's feeder relationships follow catchment overlap rather than formal partnership — each primary catchment sits within (or mostly within) one secondary catchment. Boundaries don't always align perfectly, so a placing request is sometimes needed for siblings to stay together at secondary.
Can I apply to Gilmerton Primary School from outside the catchment?
Yes — out-of-catchment applications are called placing requests and are submitted to the council each year. Placing requests are considered only after all catchment children have been placed. For high-demand schools, placing requests from outside the catchment are usually unsuccessful in the most oversubscribed year groups. Apply via edinburgh.gov.uk/schools/school-placing-requests.
