At George Watson’s College we provide a worldclass education for children and young people from preschool to S6. Our inventive teachers give our pupils the freedom to succeed, through an inspiring curriculum and an extensive, inclusive enrichment programme.

At Watson’s, everyone is challenged and supported to be the best they can, so they may be successful, compassionate citizens when it’s time to make their own way in life. We do this by living our values, even when nobody’s watching. They are: aim high, be kind, join in and respect all.

When it comes to our youngest, we believe in adventures and so our new preschool is the place where discovery starts. Our new- look early years provision is now the main point of entry for our Junior School. The stunning new Preschool classrooms are designed to create flexible, collaborative places to learn. Our new outdoor spaces are the perfect place for imagination to run free and for dreams to be formed. When it’s time to move on, we are committed to creating a clear pathway for children to move successfully into our Junior School.

Our Preschool, Junior and Senior pupils are all housed on the same campus which includes stateof- the art sports facilities, music school, art school, technology and engineering centre and drama studios. We provide leading IT facilities, including wifi for all, the latest technology and the opportunity for senior pupils to bring their own device.

There are a number of outdoor learning opportunities and educational visits, to both national and international destinations, as we enable pupils to seek new frontiers, cultures and experiences.

We also offer a number of bursaries, scholarships and financial assistance, and widening access to the school via our Family Foundation. www. gwc. org. uk/ joinus
