Fettes College Prep School

Fettes College Prep is affectionately referred to as the college’s little sibling, and it’s the best of both worlds: small and family-friendly, with all the facilities of a world-renowned senior school. Pupils join at 7+ and can board from the word go. Just across the playing fields from Fettes College, Fettes College Prep inhabits a frankly staggering 100-acre site in the heart of Edinburgh.

    Bursaries
    Fettes gives up to 100 per cent fee remission through its means-tested bursary scheme, with additional support (for example, for sports trips or choir tours) available when necessary. These awards are reliant upon completion of a full financial history, including a home visit, and are subject to annual review. The school also offers support to existing families whose financial circumstances have changed unexpectedly.

    While these awards are usually only available to students starting in Year 7 and above, there is the potential for younger students to be accepted in exceptional circumstances.

    For more information, please see the school website, which has a pop-out bursary brochure:
