About schools in Penicuik
Penicuik lists seven schools, most of them primary schools. Its two secondary schools are where families compare options once a child finishes primary.
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.
