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.

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.

Streets in Boroughmuir High School catchment include Abbotsford Crescent, Abbotsford Park, Admiral Terrace, Albert Terrace, Bainfield Drive, Balcarres Court, Balcarres Street and Belhaven Place — 255 streets in total, all listed on this page. The catchment covers Morningside and Polwarth. Boundary lines can cut through individual streets, so for an address right on the edge confirm by full postcode at edinburgh.gov.uk/catchmentmap.

Bruntsfield Primary School, Buckstone Primary School, Canaan Lane Primary School and South Morningside Primary School feed into Boroughmuir High School. Each of these primary catchments sits within (or mostly within) the Boroughmuir High School secondary catchment. Children moving from these primaries typically continue to Boroughmuir High School for S1 without a placing request; children at primaries outside this list would normally need to apply via a placing request.

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.
