Cargilfield is a leading, modern prep school and we pride
ourselves on providing a genuinely well-rounded education.
There are many opportunities for our boys and girls to excel
academically as
well as in sports and extra-curricular
activities.
Our children have an outstanding record of winning scholarships
to public schools and consistently do well at Common Entrance.
We are particularly strong in French, Latin
and Greek, and have
invested heavily in I.C.T. From 8 years upwards, boys and girls
play sport every day, so it is not surprising that our teams
regularly win matches in rugby, netball, hockey, cricket, rounders
and tennis.
There are also lots of exciting
opportunities to compete in football,
golf, sailing, climbing, archery, skiing, fencing and judo. Our
children also enjoy performing in plays, singing and playing
musical instruments.
Our children are well prepared when they sit their Common Entrance
exams at the end of Form 8. Results have been good for many years
with nearly all children gaining places at their first choice
public school, where Cargundians are always valued.
Parents and their children are given guidance on choosing the right public school, whether it is in Scotland or England. Popular destinations range from Loretto, Glenalmond and Kilgraston, to Sedburgh, Oundle and Eton.
