George Heriots School is governed by George Heriots Trust, Scottish Charity numberSC011463 About the school/organisation George Heriots School It might be difficult to imagine a school you havent seen, situated in the shadows of Edinburgh Castleon a World Heritage site, echoing the Castles turreted structure in its striking main building, TheWark.
George Heriots School foundation stone was laid in 1628, thanks to the vision of early philanthropist,goldsmith and court jeweller George Heriot.
George Heriots vision, inspired by what he hadwitnessed at Christs Hospital School, was to create a school for fatherless children.
The schoolopened its doors in 1659 and expanded in the 1800s to create a further 18 out-schools for thechildren of Edinburgh, educating many thousands of children before the advent of the 1872 EducationAct, when schooling became managed by the state.
The school has survived Cromwells troops, two world wars and evolved in its nine-acre city centresite to become today the leading independent school in Scotland, as voted by The Sunday Times in2021.
Heriots 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 toquestion, to respect rights, to develop confidence in their own voice and above all, leaving with a skillset 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 schoolsFoundation.
As Scotlands oldest independent school, on the cusp of celebrating a 400-year anniversary, theschool is a good example of widening access.
Fees are kept comparatively low (approximately halfthe level of two other Edinburgh independent schools), with 31 children studying at the school on fullbursaries and 61 children attending through the Foundation, set up by George Heriot to educate thefatherless bairns of Edinburgh.
Any child who has lost a mother or father through bereavement, andlives within a defined local area, is entitled to apply to study at George Heriots.
