Addressing the locations of primary schools in the City of Stockholm, this paper investigates how present primary schools—and their schoolyards—are in the context of local neighbourhoods and the wider city. Building on a previous study of primary schools inUppsala (Legeby et al., 2019), the paper explores the location of Stockholm’s schools in terms of local and global integration cores, going on to examine the visual presence of 14 publicprimary schools, built between 1886 and 2018, in relation to their immediate contexts. Overlaying isovists (Benedikt, 1979), which are used to capture the visibility of the schoolyards from their surroundings (Vaughan, 2020), and axial lines, I calculate the ratio of depth of vision (isovists) to depth of orientation (axial lines), which gives a local exposure rate. This new measure refines our understanding of the presence and ‘urban embedding’ (Griffiths and Vaughan, 2020) of things in the city. While 12 of the schools in the sample are found to be located in the local integration core, the local exposure rate indicates a difference in the presence of their schoolyards, since they are represented in the entire rangeof the rate. By revealing the presence and visibility of schools in Stockholm, both at the city level and within their local neighbourhoods, the local exposure rate contributes to a discussion of how societal ideals of education and play are spatially materialised in the city.
