Cargilfield

Remote learning has proved to us what we really always knew; Cargilfield is a school that provides the best all-round education, whatever the circumstances. As a small school that prides itself on knowing our children and our families better than others, we are all about personal communication and so daily contact with teachers and lots of live teaching comes naturally to us.

With light at the end of the Covid tunnel, we are now very much looking forward to enjoying more of the things we do best in the near future:

A Prep School?

As a stand-alone junior school, our facilities and skills are focused entirely on younger children and your child will have the chance to enjoy an environment where being a child is still important. Without the presence of older pupils, we limit the forces that require children to grow up faster while fostering qualities of courtesy, self-reliance and assurance.

The wide range of schools to which our children move on means that we are proud of helping you to find the senior school that will best suit your child or your family: whether that’s in Edinburgh or further afield.

Small Matters

Cargilfield has extensive grounds and state-of-theart facilities on a single site. As a school of about 300 children, we will get to know your child as part of our family. A family school means that we welcome a broad range of abilities but a combination of high expectations, good teaching and small classes (with two classes per year group and no more than 18 children per class) helps to explain our excellent results.

Busy children are happy children

Our girls and boys are busy. They play sport every day and creative activities such as music, drama, art and design are an important part of our curriculum. After school, evening and weekend activities will quickly return as they are a fundamental part of what we offer and will allow your child to try everything and discover their strengths and what excites them. We offer over 40 clubs during our longer school day – from fencing to fly tying, from drama to debating, from art to archery – and everything in between.

Supporting you and your family

We have all been through a challenging and unsettling time, and as we return to school, the care and support that a school offers will, once again, be more important than ever.

We are able to care for and nurture the individual while still helping them to set their sights higher. Our longer day and flexible boarding opportunities also mean that we can support the demands of busy families. Cargilfield is a lot more than just a school.

We would like you to see what it means to be part of the Cargilfield family. We have a range of ways (within current Covid guidelines) to bring our school to life for you.

Whatever we face, we know that we can deliver an education which is best in class.
