Welcome to Braidburn School

Situated in the south-west of Edinburgh, Braidburn School provides a supportive learning environment for learners with additional support needs aged 2½ to 18 years old.

Braidburn benefits from on-site multi-disciplinary therapy and medical teams in addition to our education staff. This helps our learners achieve their full potential.

Our Vision, Values and Aims

  • At Braidburn School our vision is: Everyone working together to help us learn, feel safe, make choices, show our feelings and be the best we can be.
  • This vision is embodied in our school’s aims to promote independence and communication within our positive and nurturing environment so our young people leave school with confidence and the ability to enjoy life.
  • We value teamwork, Inclusive Communication, our multi-tasking staff and our diverse and holistic approach towards meeting the needs of all our learners so they can be the best they can be.

We look forward to welcoming our new learners in August. Here is a virtual tour of the school so you can see what Braidburn is like.
