Fettes College

Fettes College has over 5,000 Old Fettesians who remain in touch with us for one very compelling reason: being educated at Fettes was one of the most important and beneficial aspects of their lives. Fettes is where their confidence was built, horizons broadened, talents nurtured and life-long friendships made. Where they achieved exam success, broke sporting records, were inspired by teachers and learnt the skills which would equip them for later life. Fettes is where they were enthused, praised and encouraged to work hard and achieve the very best they could, while being surrounded by like-minded friends and caring staff. To this day, a Fettes education is an incredible start to life. Quality All-Round Education Fettes is renowned around the world for the quality of education provided and the school strongly believe that with expert tuition and encouragement, every student can maximise their academic potential. Nurturing Talents The skills and talents of each pupil are recognised and rewarded whether that be in the classroom, on the sports field, in the concert hall, on the stage or in the gallery. Fettes are incredibly proud of the level and variety of their achievement – a true reflection of an all-round education. Benefits of Boarding Boarding houses are a vital part of boarding life, a caring community of students living together. A wealth of house activities cements the strong bond between housemates, younger pupils learn from older pupils and older pupils take responsibility to care for others. Boarding at Fettes also equips students with a great level of self-reliance and motivation. The Heart of Edinburgh At Fettes, you have the best of both worlds because not only is the school set in a beautiful, leafy 90 acre campus with all facilities on-site, you are also in the heart of Edinburgh, one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Edinburgh provides an exhilarating array of cultural facilities and is only a short drive away from the countryside.
