Fettes College is a long established prestigious school, with a tradition of excellence in academics, sport and cultural activities. Fettes has over 5,000 Old Fettesians who remain in touch with us for one very compelling reason: being educated at Fettes was one of the most important and beneficial aspects of their lives. Fettes is where their confidence was built, horizons broadened, talents nurtured and life-long friendships made. Where they achieved exam success, broke sporting records, were inspired by teachers and learnt the skills, which would equip them for life. Fettes is where they were enthused, praised and encouraged to work hard and achieve the very best they could, while being surrounded by like-minded peers and caring staff. To this day, a Fettes education is an incredible start to life. Fettes College is a stimulating, cosmopolitan and forward-looking place in which to live, work and prepare young people for the challenges of the 21st century.

At Wester Hailes Education Centre we support our students throughout the day, and throughout their educational journey. We know that if students are to be able to concentrate fully on their learning then a nutritious and healthy start to the day is essential. Starting at 7.30 a.m. and open until school begins at 8.25 a.m., students of all ages from S1 to S6 are welcome to drop in to our club. Breakfast consists of porridge or cereal, toast and a variety of toppings, however, our menus also provide a link with the Curriculum; during Scottish week for example oatcakes and porridge will be on the menu, and croissants feature when we partner with the French Department.
