Embleton Primary School (EPS) was built in 1961. The school was built to accommodate a new housing development, and it once had an enrolment of over 900 students.

As with many new schools, as the area aged, and housing sections became light industrial EPS numbers gradually decreased. The buildings at the top of the hill are now used by SSENS - School of Special Educational Needs Sensory staff. In recent years, the area has been going through a phase of urban renewal and this accompanied by a strong focus on promoting our school, has built our student numbers up from 140 full-time students a few years ago to over 210 students currently.
