Letham Mains Primary School

The new Letham Mains Primary School (LMPS) building is planned to open in August 2020 or as soon as possible thereafter.

From 2019 until the new building is open LMPS pupils will be accomodated as follows:

School Session 2018/19

P1 to P5 pupils

For the remainder of the current school session 2018/19, P1-P5 pupils will be accommodated within existing spaces in a class for their primary stage at Haddington Primary School as a ‘hosted’ Letham Mains pupil.

P6 pupils

P6 pupils in session 2018/19 will not be subject to the hosting arrangement but will be enrolled in Haddington Primary School for both the remaining time in P6 and then in their P7 year in 2019/20. These pupils will then transition to S1 at Knox Academy in August 2020.

P7 pupils

P7 pupils in session 2018/19 will not be subject to the hosting arrangement but will be enrolled in Haddington Primary School and then transition to S1 at Knox Academy in August 2019.

For school session 2019/20 commencing in August 2019, a LMPS class will be formed and ‘hosted’ on the Haddington Primary School site for P1 to P6 pupils. This will be a composite class (a class in which pupils from 2 or more year groups are taught together). Depending on the number of pupils moving into the catchment area, there may be the requirement for two composite classes. The maximum number of pupils in a composite class is 25.

P7 pupils
