These two areas of School life remain extremely busy. This term, we have held numerous events to help to spread the ‘word’ about Merchiston, including the Pringle Debating, Chess, Swimming and Tea Afternoon at St Mary’s Melrose, and many sports fixtures with feeder schools. A highlight of this term is the ‘Merchiston Journey’ for prospective parents: this year, four senior pupils spoke about the different aspects of the Merchiston way of life, and this was followed by drinks at Castle Gates. We held our usual March Information Morning, and an innovation this year was the Kilgraston-Merchiston Art Exhibition at the Glasgow Art Club.
The Lent Term is always incredibly full with the various entrance days, let alone all the tours and tasters arranged by the Admissions Team of Anne Rickard and Sarah Compton-Dando. Numbers continue to look promising for September and we are grateful to all our parents who help to promote the School. Word of mouth continues to play a strong part in our recruitment and helps to build the sound sense of community that we all share.
