I am an instructor in a school in Edinburgh. We are trying to set up our first election campaign soon. Would you have any advice as to how we should go about this?

Hi Maeve,
you (and everyone else) can download our free tips for running elections here:
http://www.schoolcouncils.org/resources/running_elections.pdf
You'll see it mentions MiVoice, which is an online voting tool, but all the tips also apply to elections that you run manually.
The one tip that I can't emphasise enough though is give yourself time to prepare everbody fully: the electorate, the candidates and the returning officers.
Hope that's helpful for you.
