moving 4 year old from English Reception to Edinburgh primary

Hi everyone, I wondered if anyone has any experience of moving their child from the English system to the scottish one and more specifically, how they adjusted to an Edinburgh school? Would be an in-year transfer so I would be at the mercy of the council places that are left which is a little bit scary. Considering independent as an alternative (Heriots) but would rather not pay for primary and also I don't think Heriots would accept an in year transfer. Does anyone have any thoughts to share about Edinburgh primaries and whether it would be a big shock after a small English village reception year?! thanks

On the being bored, with being ahead of the school work, there is so much more than maths and English (especially in Scottish schools compared to ones in England in my experience). There is topic work, art, PE, outdoor learning, etc etc.
