Whats on offer for children 3yrs+ at The Forest & Merchiston School?

By Merchiston School, Edinburgh


The Forest at Merchiston

Set within 100 acres of beautiful woodland and parkland, Merchiston Castle School provides an education shaped by caring relationships, high expectations and meaningful opportunities. Our campus offers a safe and inspiring environment where children can explore, learn and grow in every direction.


The Forest at Merchiston offers a co-educational Nursery and Primary experience, rolling through to P7 by 2028. A strong academic curriculum is seamlessly combined with an enriching outdoor education programme, making full use of our exceptional grounds. Outdoor learning is embedded in daily teaching, bringing classroom concepts to life while developing resilience, collaboration, curiosity and problem-solving skills. We nurture the whole child, intellectually, socially, emotionally and physically, and recognise that every learner is unique. There is no one-size-fits-all approach. Through close relationships and individual attention, children are supported to grow in confidence, develop their talents and craft their own path.


Merchiston School Edinburgh

The Senior School (single-sex, boys) combines academic ambition with outstanding sporting provision. Small class sizes and a close-knit community ensure that every pupil is known as an individual. Specialist teaching, tailored timetables and high-quality coaching, including dedicated Tennis and Golf Academies, enable students to pursue their interests while maintaining academic excellence. Pupils also benefit from a wide range of cultural, creative and leadership opportunities. Wellbeing underpins school life, helping each young person to develop the character, confidence and resilience to flourish.
