Our NPA Musical Theatre class is performing their ‘Night at the Musicals’ Showcase this coming Friday 20th April at 7pm. Tickets are £5 (adult) & £3(concessions). The class has worked incredibly hard and this performance is an accumulation of everything they have done throughout the year.
To help us raise funds for next year, we are hoping to hold a raffle (or tombola – TBC!) on the night. If you have any unwanted gifts etc kicking around, we will happily take them off your hands! If you have anything you can donate, please hand it in to the school office or the music department.

Dalkeith High School is the top-ranked Midlothian secondary school!

According to the recently-published list of the top performing state secondary schools in Scotland by The Times, Dalkeith High School is the top-ranked Midlothian secondary school with our nearest competitor ten places below us.  The list has been compiled using data on attainment at Higher level supplied by Scottish Government and compares performance between schools with similar catchment areas.

Dalkeith High School has also made it into the top third of the table of all state secondary schools in Scotland – the only Midlothian school to do so.

Well done Dalkeith High School!
