School Life

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.
