ESMS is a non-denominational school based on Christian principles, which welcomes pupils of all religious persuasions and none. Assemblies for Primary 1 take place every week in Easter Ravelston Hall and we ask that children are particularly prompt on Assembly Day because Assembly starts at 8.40am. In Assemblies, the children follow our varied ESMS Learning for Life curriculum. Class Teachers and other key adults take it in turns to lead Assembly.
