Fettes College
Situated in a stunning 100-acre campus, close to the heart of the international capital city of Edinburgh with easy access to Edinburgh Airport, Fettes College enjoys a reputation as one of the pre-eminent co-educational boarding schools in the UK - renowned for academic excellence, sector-leading pastoral care, and an all-round education.
Fettes College - A Place to live. A Place to learn. A Place to grow
A full boarding ethos allows Fettes College to maximise students’ potential, delivering excellent outcomes for the individual, whilst ensuring the highest levels of care. All senior school students – day and boarding – are part of a boarding house and each believes their house is the best house! House spirit is strong.
Innovation and creativity are key. Fettes recently introduced Engineering, Enterprise and Technology (EET) into the curriculum, including Robotics, Structural Engineering, programming and 3D printing.
Proudly Scottish with a global outlook, Fettes has excellent GCSE, A Level and IB results; offers 60+ co-curricular activities and is a sector leader in pastoral care.
“Our students will leave the school knowing themselves, looking out for others, capable of thinking critically and ready to make a positive mark on their rapidly changing world. They will be bold and visionary yet compassionate; they will possess a global perspective and be ready to embrace the opportunities of the future.” Helen Harrison, Head.
