Common questions

Is living in Leith Academy 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 Leith Academy 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 Leith Academy catchment?

Streets in Leith Academy catchment include Academy Park, Academy Street, Albert Road, Alemoor Crescent, Alemoor Park, Arthur Street, Arthur Street Lane and Assembly Street — 286 streets in total, all listed on this page. The catchment covers Leith. 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 Leith Academy?

Craigentinny Primary School, Hermitage Park Primary School, Leith Primary School and Lorne Primary School feed into Leith Academy. Each of these primary catchments sits within (or mostly within) the Leith Academy secondary catchment. Children moving from these primaries typically continue to Leith Academy 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 Leith Academy 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.
