Merchiston is pleased to support International Woman’s Day today, and some of our LVI boys write about a woman who inspires them.

This week, the Golden Age of Piracy is arriving at Merchiston, courtesy of the Drama Department.
We have a special relationship with our sister schools: St. George’s School for Girls, Edinburgh, and Kilgraston School in Perthshire.
The arrangement allows your son to focus on study in school time but also socialize and make friends with girls in the normal way through joint expeditions, concerts, tours, seminars, Combined Cadet Force, debating, social events and study courses.
You can enjoy a reduction in fees if you have three or more children at Merchiston and one of our sister schools. We aim to align term dates, wherever possible, to make it easy for you as a parent with children at different schools.
Whether it is juggling motherhood with training or winning the 800m in front of millions at home, she (Jessica Ennis-Hill) can do it all. Simply seeing Jess's success encouraged me and gave the confidence to throw myself at sport.
