Gracemount High School is a non-denominational secondary school with a roll of just over 600 pupils which serves the community of Southeast Edinburgh. The school was founded in 1959 as a junior secondary school and since the late 1960s has been a fully comprehensive six-year high school.
Gracemount High School was built under PPP and opened in 2003. The school’s leadership team comprise the Head Teacher, three Depute Head Teachers, a Senior Development Officer and a Business Manager. We have a complement of 50 teaching staff and 20 support staff.
