Welcome to Portobello High School
Welcome to our school web site. Portobello High School is the largest school in Edinburgh and we aim to provide all of our 1450 pupils with an enjoyable and rewarding educational experience.

This web site should provide you with a good insight into life at Portobello High. It contains details of our broad and stimulating curriculum, the modern resources we have available to enhance learning and the wide range of opportunities which our pupils enjoy.

We strive to establish and maintain strong links with parents and the local community. I hope the development and use of this web site by staff, pupils, parents and the wider community will further strengthen those links.

Ms. Peigi Macarthur, Head Teacher

Inclement Weather
The school remains open during this wintry spell. Almost all staff have managed to make it in to work. Should the weather pose further difficulties and the transport system breaks down, then we may have to consider closing the school to all ,or selected, year groups. Please could I ask parents to listen to Radio Forth if they feel that the school may be closed and this will be confirmed one way or the other. If conditions deteriorate during a working day, we may have to close early. Could you discuss arrangements with your youngster should this have to happen? With the younger pupils, we will attempt to make contact with parents.
