The school, which was founded in 1984, is situated in the beautiful grounds of a spacious 17.5 acre site, formerly part of the estate of Beeslack House, and is a highly attractive and inspiring setting for young people to learn and develop. Each session we get a high number of placing requests from pupils outwith our catchment.
We provide secondary education for young people aged 11-18 years where effective partnership working has been a key element of the drive to improve outcomes for young people. Beeslack also provides an excellent resource for the local community through its long-established and highly valued community education programme.

In the senior phase pupils have the opportunity to study for a range of qualifications at N3,4,5, Higher and Advanced Higher level with approx 47% of S6 pupils progressing their studies at college or university. Following a review of our Curriculum we are embarking on a very exciting journey in extending the learning opportunities for our young people in school, Midlothian and beyond.
At Beeslack Community High School we set high expectations for all of our pupils and work well with partner agencies to support our young people. We have high expectations for all of our pupils and want them to have aspirations, ambitions and be open minded for their journey beyond school.
We are an inclusive school that values all of its pupil’s contributions. Particular strengths of the school are the relationships between pupils, parents and staff and the attainment and achievements of our young people.
