Students at Fettes Aim high and we understand the need for all students to deepen academic understanding by going beyond the confines of examined material.
Academic enrichment is achieved through a programme of Olympiads, lectures, talks, academic societies, subject specific competitions, debating societies and university preparation classes. All of these opportunities allow our students to enhance their knowledge and understanding of their chosen discipline.
Here are just a few examples:
