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
