Overview
Queensferry High School does not have capacity to accommodate new housing developments in Queensferry.
Queensferry High School has capacity for 1,200 pupils. The school may exceed that capacity in 2025 and need to accommodate nearly 1,800 pupils by 2035.
We think possible solutions could be to:
- extend Queensferry High School to accommodate up to 1,800 pupils; or
- build a new secondary school in Kirkliston or West Edinburgh for pupils from Kirkliston.
We would like your views on what the best solution would be for your community.
We would also like to know if there are community services or facilities you think could be provided by a new building.
You can find more information in the "Related" section at the foot of this page.

Or you can write to us at: West Edinburgh Learning Estate Strategy, 1.7 Waverley Court, 4 East Market Street, Edinburgh, EH8 8DG
You have until 5pm on Monday 16 January 2023 to get your views to us.
We will also be holding public information sessions. Details of these events can be found in the "Events" section below. These sessions will provide you with an opportunity to speak to us, find out more and give us your feedback.
Why your views matter
We want to hear from people to generate ideas and develop a plan for secondary school provision in the Kirkliston and Queensferry areas. All ideas are welcome and anyone can send us their thoughts.
What happens next
We will capture people’s views and ideas in a report that we will share with you in February 2023.
The report will recommend next steps informed by the views and ideas we receive.
The report will be considered by Councillors at the Education, Children and Families Committee in March 2023.
If people think that extending Queensferry High School is the best solution, then we will begin a new discussion with the community about what the design should include.
If people think that pupils from the Kirkliston area attending a new school would be the best solution, then we will continue our work with the Kirkliston community to develop this proposal further.
