Each of our Boarding Houses is like a family, a network and collaborative group of students and staff looking after one another and being there when needed
If any student has a problem, there is always someone they can speak to.
As well as the strong bonds made with fellow housemates, it is the commitment and dedication of Houseparents, their Assistants, Matrons and Visiting Tutors, which leave a lasting impression. They advise, help and encourage, simply being there for the students whenever needed.
All Fettes teaching staff spend an evening in House every week. This allows them to really get to know your children as individuals outside the classroom and to support them in everything they do.
All students (Boarding and Day) are part of a House: the school day begins and ends in the House and students go back to House during the day for snacks and to change for activities and for Quiet Study Time.
