School details from the Scottish Government — School contact details (31 January 2026 list), the 31 January 2026 edition, read 2026-09-14. Schools are identified by seed code, so a renamed school keeps its record.
This page carries no attainment figures, inspection grades or roll. The list behind it records what a school is, not how it performs, and we do not publish a number we cannot source. Education Scotland publishes inspection reports and the school’s own website is the place for its roll and curriculum.
