A place to live

Our full boarding ethos benefits all our students (boarding and day) and students 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.

“Most of our day students choose to fully participate in our weekend activities and to be part of the fun! - the whole school BBQ in the summer term, with a plethora of inflatable games and bouncy castles, is a particular highlight."

"Each of our Boarding Houses is a community - creating a nurturing environment where every student has the opportunity to thrive. Everyone looks out for each other and this provides a unique and enriching experience."

"We support positive mental health and students can discover numerous cosy, tranquil spots in House, ideal for studying, reading for pleasure, or journaling, promoting a sense of wellbeing and relaxation."

“We run events for the children of our Forces Families enabling them to build a community to support each other - here they are learning bush craft skills and enjoying toasting marshmallows round the firepit in our outdoor learning area."

Fettes for all

We understand, value and celebrate diversity in all its forms, we encourage diversity of thought in our learners, and challenge discrimination.

Location

Fettes sits in 100 acres of secure green campus with mountain views, mature woodland and green space. There is a stillness and calm on campus that belies the fact that the centre of the international city of Edinburgh is within walking distance from our gates.
