Gracemount High School is a small non-denominational secondary school with a roll of 623 which serves the community of South East Edinburgh.
Our new Gracemount High School building was constructed under PPP and opened in 2003.
At Gracemount High School we value all of our pupils equally and provide them with a range of individualised education programmes which are designed to meet their needs and prepare them for the next stage of their journey when they leave school. Examples of these include opportunities for fast track programmes, innovative vocational programmes and academy options in Dance and Football.
We believe we provide excellent opportunities for our pupils with both academic and wider achievement options. All our pupils are fully supported by an excellent pupil support team who strive to ensure that they are able to be successful.
