The School:
I have now been in post at East Craigs for some time and have been made to feel very welcome by parents, staff and children.
Since I started as Head Teacher, the school has been reviewed by the City of Edinburgh Education Department and Nursery inspected by the HMI and Care Commission. Both follow up reports have been extremely positive for the school and have enabled staff to work together closely to ensure that the aims of the school are met and that high standards are maintained.
The staff at East Craigs are privileged to share in the educational and personal development and achievements of the children who attend and are concerned at all times with pupils' attainments in order to ensure that every child makes the most of his or her abilities.
