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.

As Scotland’s oldest independent school, on the cusp of celebrating a 400-year anniversary, the
school is a good example of widening access. Fees are kept comparatively low (approximately half
the level of two other Edinburgh independent schools), with 31 children studying at the school on full
bursaries and 61 children attending through the Foundation, set up by George Heriot to educate the
fatherless bairns of Edinburgh. Any child who has lost a mother or father through bereavement, and
4,400 children have studies at Heriot’s through the Foundation. The school provides £1.3 million to
bursarial support each year.

A selective school, the academic standards at Heriot’s are high... it is a school for children for whom
academic success is important and as such, pupils are encouraged to try their hand at all that is on
complimented by specialist classes in less mainstream areas such as choreography, current affairs,
surfing, robotics/AI, Lego, debating, creative writing, and Highland Dancing.
In the Nursery, the school has dedicated teachers, delivering high quality learning experiences to
promote creativity, curiosity, independence and kindness. Weekly specialist lessons include Physical
Education, Music, Outdoor Learning, Resilience, Mindfulness, Story Massage, Philosophy, Science
and Technology.

Philosophy is taught from Nursery to Primary 7 using the P4C method, with parents attending the
school’s workshops to develop their own philosophical thinking. Heriot’s is the only school in Scotland
to have achieved a Gold Award from the SAPERE organisation, which recognises the high standard

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.
psychology, mandarin, politics, economics and graphic communication, to name a few.

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 e
