About the school/organisation

George Heriot's School


It might be difficult to imagine a school you haven't seen, situated in the shadows of Edinburgh Castle on a World Heritage site, echoing the Castle's turreted structure in its striking main building, The Wark.


George Heriot's School foundation stone was laid in 1628, thanks to the vision of early philanthropist, goldsmith and court jeweller George Heriot.

George Heriot's vision, inspired by what he had witnessed at Christ's Hospital School, was to create a school for fatherless children.

The school opened its doors in 1659 and expanded in the 1800's to create a further 18 out-schools for the children of Edinburgh, educating many thousands of children before the advent of the 1872 Education Act, when schooling became managed by the state.


The school has survived Cromwell's troops, two world wars and evolved in its nine-acre city centre site to become today the leading independent school in Scotland, as voted by The Sunday Times in 2021.

Heriot's is a modern and vibrant hive of co-educational learning, with 1,668 children from age 4- 18 filling its corridors, turrets and learning spaces to study the Scottish curriculum, learning to question, to respect rights, to develop confidence in their own voice and above all, leaving with a skill set to carve their place in the modern world.


Herioters today go on to become actors and writers, advocates and scientists, doctors, researchers,public servants and more, many continuing the legacy of its founder by supporting the school's Foundation.

There are many advantages to teaching children Philosophy.

It improves literacy and language skills, encourages children to develop articulacy and self-expression, nourishes concentration and thinking skills and invites young people to be effective in collaboration, group work and reasoning.

The Learning Enhancement team delivers a programme which incorporates Philosophy, Resilience, Teambuilding and Mindfulness, setting up good habits for life.

Heriot's has recently been awarded its third consecutive gold award for being a UNICEF Rights Respecting School.

The rights of every child are central to school life, including promotion of rights respecting attitudes and language across year groups, from diversity, equality and inclusion lessons to pupil-led assemblies celebrating Diwali, Black History Month, Dyslexia awareness and more.

Receiving the recent award from Independent School Magazine is a tremendous fillip for the school, according to Principal Gareth Warren:
''Third party recognition of what we do gives us encouragement that amongst 700 schools UK-wide, we are achieving something special. Today we look to the future to ensure the content of curriculum, the pupil experience we offer and the availability of a compelling extra curricular offer remain at the forefront of our agenda''.

Package Description

When you join the team at Heriot's, you become part of our community, where the contribution of every individual is important and valued.

The Heriot's motto, to "distribute chearfullie", is at the heart of school - distributing of kindness, of support and of generosity remains as live today as it was in 1628 when George Heriot founded the school.


Our most recent staff survey reported that 97% of employees at Heriot's feel motivated and happy to work here and we aim to provide a friendly, welcoming, and supportive environment for all of our people.

This aim is reflected in the package we offer which, for our teaching staff, in addition to salary (which includes a Heriot's enhancement), teacher holidays and pension, includes:

  • Enhanced sick pay, maternity and paternity pay
  • Family friendly policies (Including Personal Emergency Leave Days)
  • Continued professional development opportunities
  • Travel to work schemes
  • School Fee Remission (noncontractual benefit)
  • Employee Assistance programme, including 24/7 counselling helpline and high street, supermarket, and general retail discounts
  • Opportunities for involvement in the wider school community
