Next Steps

If you have thought about visiting Cargilfield, you will have normally heard about us from some of your friends; this will always be the best way for the school to promote its education. You may have seen us in a magazine or newspaper advert or you may have been recommended to visit Cargilfield by a Senior School; however you end up coming through the front door, I hope that you find Cargilfield not only a friendly and happy place but a place of real power, anticipation and success and I do not just mean success on a games field or in a work room, but success in building confidence as we prepare boys and girls for the future.

If you want to arrange a visit to Cargilfield, please simply contact the main office on 0131 336 2207 and come to see us on a day to suit you - we prefer individual visits to Open Mornings. After the visit, you may want your child or children to visit the school for a day or come for an overnight or even indeed a weekend visit; this can be arranged through the office and I can assure you that we will look after your children during their visit, which may also include a very short and informal testing in Maths and English.

Where do I go from here?

If at the end of some of these visits you are confident that Cargilfield is the place for your child, we urge you to register as early as possible. Some of our year-groups are very full and it saves rushing at the end or indeed being disappointed.

Visits to the school before the beginning of a career at Cargilfield are always a major part in an individual’s preparation for coming here. We do not mind children coming on more than one occasion and in the past one or two children have come for at least two weekends. This approach, which is both informal and full of action makes the transition as smooth as possible.
