At Fettes College, our menus are thoughtfully designed by our award-winning Executive Chef, Vladimirs (Vlad) Kruus, and prepared using fresh, seasonal ingredients sourced from local and sustainable suppliers wherever possible.
By choosing produce grown close to home, we reduce food miles while supporting Scottish farmers and producers. From crisp salad leaves and vibrant seasonal vegetables to wholesome root crops harvested at their peak, our chefs create nutritious, balanced meals that showcase the very best of local produce.
Using fresh, high-quality ingredients not only enhances flavour and nutritional value but also supports our commitment to making environmentally responsible choices for our school community.

It was great to welcome some pupils from Cargilfield School to Fettes recently for a Play in a Day. After some energetic warm-ups, the group took part in workshops to create the physical theatre elements of a shortened version of Macbeth. Through teamwork, commitment and talent, they were able to produce a brilliant 20-minute performance that greatly entertained the audience of parents and staff. The production was masterminded by Mr Boulter-Comer, with support from Mr Green, our theatre technician. Well done to all involved in this event. 👏🎭

Many congratulations to everyone involved in the fundraiser for SuperTroop! With a new crew of 8 students every 15 minutes for 10 hours, Saturday’s Rowathon was a high energy event showcasing our students at their best - working as a team, cheering on their friends and all while raising funds for one of our most special charities. With 4 weeks to go until the holidaymakers arrive at Fettes, the JustGiving page remains open so please keep donating – your generosity is hugely appreciated.

Fettes College was delighted to welcome its incoming Third Form students for a brilliant Transition Day designed to introduce them to the many opportunities that lie ahead in September. The day provided an opportunity for new students to immerse themselves fully in the life of the school, helping to build confidence, friendships, and excitement about the next stage of their educational journey.
The programme began with a sports coaching session led by the Games Department. Students had the chance to experience the high-quality coaching on offer, exploring both rugby and hockey. The session not only showcased the strength of sport at Fettes but also encouraged teamwork and camaraderie among the pupils, many of whom were meeting for the first time.
Following this, students were introduced to their Houseparent, marking the beginning of their connection to one of the school’s boarding houses. A guided tour gave them a sense of daily life within the house, helping them to become familiar with their new surroundings. The afternoon continued with a range of fun activities, allowing pupils to relax, build friendships, and grow in confidence.
The day concluded in memorable fashion with a lively Ceilidh on the Queen’s Lawn. New pupils joined current Third Formers for an evening of traditional dancing, laughter, and shared enjoyment. It was inspiring to witness so many positive interactions, with pupils quickly forming connections that will support them in the months ahead.
As the day drew to a close, students left tired but excited, with a clear sense of anticipation for the start of term. The Transition Day successfully set the tone for a happy and successful journey at Fettes College.

A fantastic opportunity for our Lower Sixth economists this afternoon and evening at the Adam Smith Theatre in Kirkcaldy.

Students from the Fettes Economics Department are attending The Future of the Economy, hearing directly from Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey, alongside leading economists Ed Balls and Stephanie Flanders.

They are also taking part in an extraordinary masterclass with Nobel Prize-winning economists Joseph Stiglitz and Michael Spence, giving them the chance to engage with some of the most influential thinkers in economics and public policy.

Experiences like this bring economics beyond the classroom, allowing students to connect theory with real-world decision-making and hear first-hand from those shaping the future of the global economy.

A huge thank you to the Adam Smith Global Foundation for providing such an inspiring opportunity.
