Fettes College - Edinburgh

Carrington Road, Edinburgh, Lothian, EH4 1QX, United Kingdom

Fettes College is a leading co-educational boarding and day school in Edinburgh, Scotland, for students aged 5 - 18. Founded in 1870, the stunning Fettes main building looks like a castle, complete with turrets, spiral staircases, a bell tower, flagpole and Gargoyles. Set in a magnificent 100-acre woodland campus close to central Edinburgh and 20 minutes from Edinburgh airport – Fettes combines all the advantages of a city school with the privacy and space of a rural setting. Known for its academic excellence, Fettes follows the English curriculum of GCSE examinations and is the only school in Scotland to offer the dual pathway of A Level and International Baccalaureate (IB) in Sixth Form – Fettes is a top 12 IB School in the UK. The recently opened Allardice Centre, within the campus, creates a new centre for excellence which combines the physical and mental wellbeing of all students and the bespoke Fettes Middle School Diploma ensures distinction to the middle years aged 13-15. This and so much more adds to the Fettes holistic all-round education that nurtures and supports students to thrive.

Fettes is one of the few remaining full boarding schools - there is no flexi or weekly boarding at Fettes which means the weekend activities programme is both busy and fun with many day students choosing to come back in to school to take part in the weekend activities and be amongst their friends.

At Fettes students aim high and give back.

Fettes College is ‘A place to Live. A place to learn. A place to grow.’
