Holy Rood High School, Edinburgh

Holy Rood High School is a Roman Catholic secondary school situated on the edge of Holyrood Park, near Arthur's Seat beside Duddingston Village, in Edinburgh. It is about half a mile a way from Castlebrae Community High School.

The headteacher is Joan Daly. She is assisted by depute headteachers Chris Moore, Martin Connelly, Fiona Forbes and business manager Derek Ferguson. Dennis Canavan is a former Assistant Head.

The original Holy Rood RC High School was opened in 1971, when it replaced St Anthony's Secondary School.

The current school building was officially opened in September 2009 with the original 1970s build being demolished.

On the 4th April 2025, rapper JAAD and influencer Caz Milligan showed up outside the school gate and began rapping on top of a car. No one knew that this was going to happen. They handed out pizza to students and filmed videos, which have since been taken down from YouTube and TikTok.

The school has a current pupil roll of approximately 1050 pupils and 80 teaching staff.
