About the School

Dean Park Primary serves the village of Balerno in south-west Edinburgh. The school operates across two sites: a main campus within the Deanpark/Marchbank housing estates, and a nursery annexe located in the heart of the village. We currently have a roll of 504 primary pupils, and capacity for 88 full-time children in our nursery. Our main campus is undergoing an exciting expansion with six new classrooms due for completion this year.
