Fettes College is housed in a striking turreted building on a 90-acre wooded campus, within walking distance of central Edinburgh, combining the advantages of a city school with the privacy of a rural setting. By offering both A Levels and the International Baccalaureate, the school has a global perspective and this, with the full boarding school ethos, attracts pupils both locally and internationally. Character development, alongside academic achievement, thrives in this community which values curiosity, creativity and kindness. The School embraces its Scottish traditions, with pipers and marching bands contributing to its unique atmosphere. Famous for educating both fictional, James Bond, and real life characters, Tony Blair and Nobel prize winner Sir Angus Deaton, Fettesians have a strong track record in making a meaningful contribution to society.
