Our Summer Term and academic year came to a close with a fabulous Founder’s Eve Concert and Founder’s Day celebrations.

Fettes is delighted to announce another excellent set of IB results in 2026, with a school average of 38 points (equivalent to 4A*s at A Level).  

Having made impressive improvements since the regional heats, team Fettes delivered an outstanding performance to be crowned UK Champions in the Senior event.

Sports Day 2026 was once again a fantastic showcase of some of our best athletes, outstanding team and individual performances, and great house camaraderie.

On the evening of Wednesday 1st July, family and friends gathered for the Upper Sixth Form Leavers’ Ball pre-reception.

Last night we proudly opened our End of Year Exhibition, celebrating the creativity, dedication and achievements of our Upper Sixth artists and Fifth Form GCSE cohort.

We are delighted to announce that Kinvara G and Zain Q are appointed as Heads of School for the forthcoming academic year (2026/2027).

Our Third Form competed in back-to-back STEM challenges including codebreaking, robotics, forensics and botany.

This much enjoyed event, in the increasingly familiar surroundings of Inverleith, St. Serf’s Church, offered a chance for our Leavers to perform one last time. 

As part of the post-GCSE week, the Fifth Form has been participating in the Youth Philanthropy Initiative (YPI).

Just when you might have thought all our musical performances were being saved ‘til the last week of session, we had our Open Mic Night in the Theatre.

What a fantastic afternoon at the Scottish Prep Schools Athletics Championships!
Our athletes delivered outstanding performances throughout the day.
