Front Entrance
Pentland Primary is the amalgamation of the former Comiston and Hunter's Tryst Primary Schools. It caters for children of any religious denomination and offer two years pre-school education as well as the seven years of primary education. The school lies about 8km south west of Princes street in the Oxgangs area of the city. We are close enough to Braidburn Park, Hermitage of Braid, Swanston Village and the Pentland Hills to enable us to make use of them when the occasion arises. We are a bus journey from the centre of Edinburgh, with its museums, galleries and other places of interest. There are 327 children on the roll, organised into fourteen classes. This year we have specialist teachers in Physical education, music, ICT, art and brass.
The school was completely rebuilt in 2007 and we now have excellent new facilities for our pupils.
Every classroom has an interactive whiteboard so that the children's participation and learning is enhanced through the use of ICT.
P7 Classroom Library. ICT Suite. P2 and P3 working area. P2 Class P1 Working Area Gym Hall Outdoor classroom Classes have different zones within the playground that seperate the younger children from the older children.
Playground supervisors monitor the playground during morning break and lunch time to ensure that accidents or difficulties can be dealt with quickly.
Children from P7 apply for, and if successful, are appointed as a 'Playground Buddies.' These children wear caps so that younger children can identify them. The P7 Buddies are responsible for helping the younger children learn how to play.
The field is also open during the spring and summer term for the older children to play ball games.

Pupils who take a school meal or a packed lunch are not allowed to leave the school grounds during lunch break unless the school receives notification from the parents.
