Our approach provides hard-working families with the flexibility they need, whilst ensuring children go home fulfilled.
Juggling work and family is becoming increasingly difficult for many parents and we want to make sure that families have the flexibility to collect their children at various points at the end of the school day, safe in the knowledge that they are benefiting from an extraordinary range of activities, the vast majority of which are included in the fees.
As part of our current offering for 7-13 year olds, families have the option to drop-off as early as 7.45am and to determine the pick-up time that is most convenient for them, on any given week day - with pick-up times ranging from 3.45pm to 6pm and as late at 7pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Morning Minibus Service
In addition, we have introduced a morning minibus service, to bring day pupils to the Prep School each morning, initially from West Edinburgh with additional routes in the pipeline.
Flexible wraparound care
Writing in TES magazine, Charlie Minogue, Headmaster of our Prep School highlights the flexible wraparound care Fettes Prep School offers to families.
