Roslin Primary School is a twelve classroom, non-denominational, co-educational school situated within the village of Roslin, Midlothian.

School facilities include a gym/assembly area, an expressive arts room, library, additional support needs base, and a number of small tutorial rooms. The school currently has twelve classes for P1 to P7 pupils with a roll of around pupils, and an ELC setting with spaces for 80 pupils aged 3-5 receiving hours of ELC over a session.

The school works closely with Beeslack Community High School and the other feeder primaries, to promote social and educational inclusion and to provide a supportive and healthy environment for pupils and staff. As Beeslack Learning Community schools work together with a range of partners to improve the outcomes of all of learners and their families. Partners include Children’s Services, Women’s Aid and play therapy. Within the school community the school has a close working relationship with Rosslyn Chapel and pupils of all ages are involved with this culminating in P7 pupils acting as Chapel tour guides. The school also makes extensive use of Roslin Glen as part of their curricular offer.

Our school catchment area has seen extensive new housing constructed in recent years and a key priority in the school is to continue to build effective community links.

We aim to provide a warm and caring learning environment where pupils, parents and members of the community feel welcome and where a positive partnership between our school and the wider community can flourish.
