Common questions
Is living in Balerno Community High 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 Balerno Community High 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 Balerno Community High School catchment?
Streets in Balerno Community High School catchment include Addiston Crescent, Addiston Farm Road, Addiston Grove, Addiston Park, Ashley Grange, Baird Road, Ballantyne Place and Bavelaw Gardens — 177 streets in total, all listed on this page. 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 primary schools feed into Balerno Community High School?
Dean Park Primary School, Kirknewton Primary School and Ratho Primary School feed into Balerno Community High School. Each of these primary catchments sits within (or mostly within) the Balerno Community High School secondary catchment. Children moving from these primaries typically continue to Balerno Community High School for S1 without a placing request; children at primaries outside this list would normally need to apply via a placing request.
Can I apply to Balerno Community High 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.
