Congratulations to our U15 Boys and U15 Girls who took part in the Scottish Schools Hockey Championships this term. 

Sport is an integral part of a healthy and active lifestyle, developing key life skills such as teamwork and communication.

With many sports fixtures taking place throughout the academic year, the Spring Term brings new sporting successes for our Fettesians.

From a protest around the Fettes grounds to a conservation project at The Glencorse Centre, our 3^rd Form have taken part in an inter-disciplinary project week focusing on Climate Change.

Providing an exciting variety of practical learning, the Fettes Science Department has brought Climate Change to life and helped our students understand the value of the project they undertook.

Our vision is that every student is fully engaged in our service programme so that they can develop new skills whilst gaining confidence and self-awareness through helping others.

As part of 3rd Form Project Week, students ventured to a local conservation centre to undertake some direct service action in the environment.

We are thrilled to announce the appointment of Maggie Rait to the post of Housemistress of College East from September 2020.

On Saturday 8^th March Fettes College Pipes and Drums won the Junior A Scottish Pipe Band Championships!

“Their performance was excellent, and we were delighted to hear the rehearsals and preparations paying off on the big stage.” Cameron Drummon

We are delighted to announce the appointment of Richard Mill to the post of Housemaster of Arran House, our Prep School boys’ house, from September 2020.

Music is everywhere at Fettes and rarely do you walk around campus without hearing music being played or sung.

There are numerous opportunities for students to perform throughout the year and the Spring Term Instrumental Competition is a perfect example of this.

Fettes College is delighted to announce the appointment of Mark Appleson as Fettes’ new Director of Sport starting in September 2020.

The forecast for the Pentlands was for gusts of 60mph and a windchill of -9.  Nevertheless, the runners turned up ready for an 0800 start from the war memorial.  That showed dedication to the cause.
