About The Edinburgh Academy Junior School & Nursery

     

Introduction

The Edinburgh Academy is an academically selective, independent, co-educational day school for pupils aged 2-18, with a reputation for being caring and friendly. It aims to provide co-educational excellence with a first class all round education to those of intellectual promise and academic potential, regardless of background, race or creed. The Edinburgh Academy aims to be forward looking and progressive but also greatly values its long held traditions. 

Though the school is not academically exclusive, the ability range of pupils is well above the national average. Great emphasis is placed on the pursuit of co-curricular interests alongside academic studies for all our pupils. The School has a strong reputation for individual attention and excellence in its pastoral care and co-curricular provision. 

School Background 

The Edinburgh Academy is a fully co-educational school and the Rector is a member of HMC. 

The Junior and Senior Schools are on separate sites, both of which have spacious grounds and sports facilities including extensive playing fields, an all-weather sports area, and a large Sports Hall and Centre. 

The ‘Prep School’ took occupancy of the current Junior School site on Arboretum Road in 1960 with the pre-prep moving in 1987 followed by the Nursery in 2008. 

The Edinburgh Academy is a highly regarded school within the local community, across Edinburgh and beyond. Staff and pupils take great pride in this reputation and the commitment from all is evident in the continuing success and progress of the school. 

The Edinburgh Academy is committed to sharing its facilities with the local community and has established as series of projects that puts the use of its estates and premises to the public good. 

This is has been an exciting decade for the Junior School in particular. Recruitment is high and the School is developing a reputation for being in the educational vanguard with regards to Learning and Teaching and the use of modern technologies.

The Nursery and Junior School

Classes and Assembly

Our Nursery currently has four classes. In the Junior School approximate class sizes are 22. We have three classes in each yeargroup.

An assembly is held at 8.45am most mornings, and is attended by the whole school twice weekly. 

Curriculum and Results 

The Edinburgh Academy Junior School follows the principles of a Curriculum for Excellence namely that it is our aim that children will be confident individuals, successful contributors, effective learners and responsible citizens. Academically the children perform at a level well above the national average and this is reflected in examination results at the appropriate stages throughout their school careers.

Games, Music and Activities

We place great store on the all-round education of children and our very wide and varied co-curricular programme is crucial in this regard.

At the Academy, sport offers opportunities at all levels. The School runs teams in a large number of major and minor sports and encourages pupils to represent the school at one or more sports at any age group. 

Music is also a great strength in the Academy with all children being encouraged to perform to the best of their abilities.

A full list of co-curricular clubs is available on request but it aims to meet the interests of a wide range of children.

All members of staff are expected to play a full part in supporting the co-curricular life of the school.
