Thank you to Eric Arbuckle who wrote:

The Photo

The Oldest Primary School Still in Use

"Representation of this venerable establishment, Victoria Primary School. now the oldest Primary School still in use in Edinburgh, is scant so I hope you will be able to ‘publish’ this photo of a class at Victoria Primary School, probably Primary 6, around 1948."

Certainly, Eric.  I'm happy to publish your photo, along with
your recollections of attending the school
