A PLACE TO LIVE | A PLACE TO LEARN | A PLACE TO GROW

In 2022 I launched a bold new vision for Fettes, one which focuses on what I believe Fettesians should aspire to be, the skills they will need in life and the impact I want them to make in the world.

I want our students to receive the best possible quality of education and be inspired to aim high, but a Fettes education is so much more than what is learned in the classroom. It is important for us to ensure that Fettesians understand what it means to be a good person and give back – curious, creative and kind, they give their best while considering others and valuing a sense of community. We are so fortunate that Fettes provides our students with a family for life, ready to support each other from near and far.

For more than 150 years, the school has benefited from having a diverse student body. We are therefore continuing to prioritise fundraising for transformational bursaries to enable more children to benefit from a fully funded Fettes education.

To achieve this, we need your help to increase philanthropic income towards 100% bursaries, which have substantially grown in number over the last decade. Every year we receive many more applications for bursarial support than we can accommodate, in addition to actively identifying deserving recipients through initiatives such as our Kick-start programme.

I hope the life-changing impact of bursaries shines through in the examples on the pages that follow, and that you may consider giving the same opportunity to others by supporting our vision for transformational bursaries, if you are able to.
