We are delighted to have raised £1,652 for the great charity Hope and Home for Children

Merchiston Castle School is going to have its very own Platinum Jubilee mug! All of our students are being encouraged to enter a Platinum Jubilee design that will be put on to a mug which will be sold to teachers, families and friends.
At Merchiston we constantly strive for the highest standards in the independent schools’ sector. Networking with other major schools, peer group studies of the evaluation of quality, and performance improvement are just some of the methods used to achieve our goal.
As part of our ongoing endeavours to widen public access to Merchiston, we also co-operate and link with local schools and organisations. We aim to optimise the use of our cultural, sporting and other facilities for local public benefit and to awaken in your son an awareness of the social context of the all-round education he receives. Although the charity functions primarily as a school, it is involved in many other activities and community initiatives which are of public benefit:
- Koinonia (Teamwork with the Community) by pupils and staff, locally and further afield
- Provision of staff expertise to other educational agencies and schools
- Provision of facilities on a non-profit basis for community use.
We try to live by the principles of social inclusion, social mobility and the fairness agenda, which is why we offer means tested assistance to a significant number of pupils.
