EXPLAINATION

Set in a turreted ‘castle’, in a 90 acre wooded campus within walking distance of the city of Edinburgh, Fettes has all the appeal of a ‘big town school’ but the privacy and security of a more rural environment. With the choice of A Levels or IB, Fettes attracts an international mix of pupils who thrive in a community that prizes curiosity, creativity and kindness. They also enjoy embracing many of the Scottish tradition that run through the school with pipers and marching bands giving it a unique culture and feel. 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 contribution to society.
