Welcome to Fettes

Fettes is: A place to live. A place to learn. A place to grow. A Fettes education matters, and we are a kind community where curiosity and creativity are valued, where everyone aims high and gives back. 

It is an absolute honour to be Head of Fettes College and, for me, one of the best parts of my job is the joy of getting to know each of our students and seeing them flourish as they get involved in life here.   

We offer each of our students the opportunity to make the most of their talents and gain a wealth of new experiences in a happy, encouraging environment. We maximise their potential by affording them all the advantages that a full boarding education offers whilst ensuring the highest levels of care. We want our students to leave us surrounded by friends, with the best grades possible, being fully prepared to make their mark on their rapidly changing world. 

A Fettes education matters; everyone in our community understands the privilege of being part of Fettes and never takes it for granted.  

I am often asked what makes us special and I can confidently say that when you visit us, you should be able to feel  the distinctive ethos and inclusive atmosphere of Fettes. I look forward to welcoming you to experience what we offer for yourselves.
