About schools in Midlothian
Midlothian lists 39 schools, most of them primary schools. Its six secondary schools are where families compare options once a child finishes primary. Another two schools provide for children with additional needs or alternative provision.
Education Scotland inspects the schools listed here. Its inspectors evaluate a school against the How good is our school quality indicators rather than a single grade, and each page carries the inspection date with a link to the published report. Scotland does not release school-level attainment under an open licence, so these pages show the pupil-census figures its government does publish, among them the school roll and the spread of pupils across the most and least deprived areas. Treat a report as a starting point and visit before you decide.

Common questions about schools in Midlothian
- How many schools does Midlothian have?
- OfferDay lists 39 schools in Midlothian, including 31 primary schools and six secondary schools.
- Who inspects schools in Midlothian?
- Schools in Midlothian are inspected by Education Scotland (HM Inspectors). It evaluates a school against the How good is our school quality indicators rather than giving one overall grade, and each school page carries the inspection date with a link to the published report.
- How are schools in Midlothian ranked?
- OfferDay does not rank schools in Midlothian. Scotland does not publish school-level attainment under an open licence, so there is no fair basis for a league table. Compare schools on their Education Scotland reports and the pupil-census figures its government publishes, and treat any single measure as a starting point rather than a verdict.
- How many towns are in the Midlothian council area?
- OfferDay groups the Midlothian schools across four towns, listed in the schools-by-town section on this page. Any school with no town recorded in the national register is listed separately, grouped by phase, so every school in the council area is reachable.
