Common questions
- What kind of school is Preston Street Primary School?
- Preston Street Primary School is a primary school in Edinburgh.
- Has Preston Street Primary School been inspected?
- Education Scotland inspects a sample of schools each year rather than every school on a fixed cycle, and it has not yet inspected Preston Street Primary School, so no report is shown. That is common and is not a mark against a school.
- How big is Preston Street Primary School?
- Preston Street Primary School has 255 pupils on roll.
- Does Preston Street Primary School publish exam results?
- Scotland does not publish school-level attainment under an open licence, so this page shows the pupil-census figures its government does release, such as the school roll, rather than exam results. Its inspection report is on the Education Scotland website.
School details and pupil characteristics come from the Scottish Government's school contact list and pupil census. Inspection information comes from Education Scotland. OfferDay links to each inspection report rather than reproducing it. This page was last updated on 10 July 2026.
