Other facilities include a gym/assembly area, an expressive arts room, library, additional support needs base, and a number of small tutorial rooms. The school kitchen serves a dining area with the opportunity for outdoor eating when the weather permits this. The school currently has seven classes for P1 and P7 pupils with a roll of around pupils, and an ELC setting with spaces for 40 pupils aged 3-5 receiving hours of ELC over a session. There are Community Rooms in the school which are available for wider community use, for example parent groups and curriculum partnerships.

The provision classrooms have a separate entrance but share the activity halls, dining rooms and expressive arts facilities. These learners are an integral part of the school and are well supported by a principal teacher, teachers and learning assistants. The additional support needs service in Midlothian is in the process of being reviewed.
