A series of drops in events are taking place this month to gather views from the public over proposals to build the new schools; a replacement Victoria and a further two in south Edinburgh and the Broomhills area.
Work on the developments are expected to start in Spring 2019 with an opening date scheduled for August 2020.
Overall, each new school will be able to accommodate over 400 pupils including new nurseries. In addition, the Broomhills school and the new Victoria will have an all-weather pitch.

With one drop-in event having already taken place on Wednesday, two further events are scheduled for the following dates;
• South Edinburgh - Wednesday 13 June, 4pm to 7pm, the South Morningside Primary School P1 and P2 building, Canaan Lane
• Broomhills - Wednesday 20 June, 4pm to 7pm, Valley Park Community Centre, Southhouse Road
Cllr Ian Perry said: "With the growing population in these areas of the city we needed to address the issues of rising rolls. Building three new primary schools shows a clear commitment from the Coalition to provide the best education possible for our children."
Cllr Alison Dickie added: "These public information events are a great opportunity for parents and people living nearby to come along and find out more about the exciting plans for these new schools."
