Learning and qualifications

Joining the school

Families should distinguish younger-school entry from senior and sixth-form admission. Confirm the current subject choices before choosing a qualification route. Before accepting a place, confirm the entry year, assessment requirements and application timetable directly with admissions. A visit or enquiry is not a confirmed offer.

Language and learning support

The school describes mental-health spaces and a wider pastoral community. Day pupils can also take part in weekend activities. Discuss the child’s language background and any existing support plan before applying. Ask what help is available in lessons, how progress is reviewed and whether it carries an extra charge.

Campus and daily life

The Edinburgh school has boarding houses and outdoor learning. Planned building projects should be checked separately from facilities already in use. Confirm the exact teaching location for the chosen year group. Check the daily journey, meals and activity timetable; a whole-school facilities list may not apply equally to every stage.
