he Edinburgh Art Fair is a family friendly event where the presence of our younger visitors is valued. The children of today are the artists, gallery owners and art collectors of tomorrow. There is a crèche as well as painting classes and printmaking workshops to keep them educated and entertained and, of course thousands of artworks for them to view, admire and critique, as they take in the fair with their parents/carers.
Children under 16 have free entry when accompanied by an adult.
We have 100 tickets at £5.00 each per adult for the Art Fair with the proceeds all going to the School to enhance our Art Supplies. Tickets may be purchased from the School Office.

Primary Schools Open Day

Remember, Remember 5 NOVEMBER
All City of Edinburgh Council Primary Schools are holding an open day on 5 November.
We're welcoming all parents or carers with children who haven't yet started school to pop in and visit their local catchment primary school, particularly parents with children who will be starting school in August 2014.
Even if you already have older children at school, younger siblings are welcome to look around with parents or carers.

It is a great opportunity to find out what your local school has to offer, see the school on a working day, meet the Head Teacher and other staff, as well as ask any questions about the school and what it can offer.

There's no need to book ahead. Just pop in and join us at one of the following times: 09.30, 11.15 or 13.45. We look forward to seeing you.
