South Morningside Primary is celebrating making it into Tatler magazine’s latest ranking of the top 12 state schools in Britain.
Editors at the high-society bible said researchers had included the school – the only primary in Scotland to be included – after looking at factors including pupil performance, teaching methods and facilities.
They said South Morningside had emerged as one of a number of council-run schools attracting parents struggling to afford rising fees at private institutions.
The new guide tells readers: “These days, the smuggest mummies aren’t those at the gates of the shiny preps – they’re the ones who’ve snagged a place at the best state primaries.”
