Fettes College - A place to live. A place to learn. A place to grow.

Fettes College is a leading co-educational boarding and day school and is the top IB School in Scotland and a top 10 IB School in the UK.

Fettes is housed in a striking turreted building in a stunning 100-acre wooded campus, within walking distance of central Edinburgh, combining the advantages of a city school with the privacy and space of a rural setting.

Following the English curriculum of GCSE and offering the dual pathway of A Levels and IB in the Sixth Form, the school has a global perspective and this, with the full boarding school ethos, attracts students both locally and internationally.

At Fettes, the IB Diploma facilitates students who wish to maintain a broader range of subjects for longer whilst still enabling specialism in their Higher-Level subjects. Students take six subjects for two years and must complete study in English, Mathematics, Science, a language (ancient or modern) and a humanities subject. In addition, students follow a course in the Theory of Knowledge, undertake a programme of Creativity, Action and Service and complete an Extended Essay on a subject of their choice.

"Our students will leave the school knowing themselves, looking out for others, capable of thinking critically and ready to make a positive mark on their rapidly changing world. They will be bold and visionary yet compassionate; they will possess a global perspective and be ready to embrace the opportunities of the future." Helen Harrison, Head.

Fettes is very proud of its all-round education and academic achievements with 82% of the 2024 leavers gaining places at their first choice of university across the UK and the world. Character development, alongside academic achievement, thrives in this community which values curiosity, creativity and kindness.

Innovation and creativity are key and include the creation of 'This Will be My World' Sixth Form lecture series from experts in their fields that support Sixth Form to be students that have well informed opinions about the world around them.

The school embraces its Scottish traditions, with pipers and marching bands contributing to its unique atmosphere. Famous for educating fictional James Bond, former UK Prime Minister Sir Tony Blair and Nobel Prize winner Sir Angus Deaton, Fettesians have a strong track record in making a meaningful contribution to society.
