Cargilfield life is about both boys and girls, both wee
ones and older ones; it is about Nursery children beginning
to learn how to live with each other, play with other, interact
with each other; it is about 12 year olds preparing for Common
Entrance and Scholarships throughout the United Kingdom from
Eton in the south to Gordonstoun in the north.
It is about
children being given every opportunity both in and out of
class with a very broad curriculum including two foreign
languages, classics and a whole range of ICT, Design, Art,
Drama and Music. It is a whole school and although
many children join Cargilfield at different ages, the Cargilfield
education begins at 3 and ends at 13.
