Teaching can’t only be confined to a classroom. That’s why Cargilfield offers so much more than small class sizes, character development, and a broad academic curriculum. We provide our boys and girls with 13 acres of private grounds, enriching experiences in the arts, music, and daily sports, along with a wide range of clubs and activities.
Prioritising childhood, we ensure your child has a full day of learning and discovery.
Choosing your child’s school and nursery is a huge decision, which is why we feel it’s so important for you to experience the school for yourself and see what a typical day entails at Cargilfield.
“Cargilfield is a special place: small enough to feel like an extension of my family but dynamic enough to offer the best all-round junior education in Scotland” – Rob Taylor, Headmaster at Cargilfield.
Featuring small class sizes capped at 18, we offer a broad curriculum with high academic expectations and a tailored teaching approach allowing our children to flourish. Sport, Music, Technology and Expressive Arts feature extensively within the school week and Sport is offered daily to children aged 8 and above. With an extensive range of clubs available each week, there is something for every child.
In September 2023, Cargilfield School received an outstanding report in all four inspection categories by Education Scotland, with an Excellent for “Raising Attainment and Achievement”; and Very good for “Leadership of change learning; for “Learning, teaching and assessment and for ensuring well-being, equality and inclusion”*.

Our Nursery setting, coupled with a broad range of experiences offered to the children, nurtures all aspects of your child’s development and instils enthusiasm, confidence, and happiness. Our modern, purpose-built Nursery comes with a vast, well-equipped garden, housing everything from a mud kitchen to a drum wall, and, of course, an outdoor stage. Children in our Nursery benefit from accessing the extensive school grounds and main school facilities, including specialist French and music teaching and various creative and sporting activities.
We offer a wrap-around After School Club for children aged 3 to 8, as well as weekly and flexible boarding for ages 8 - 13.
School bus services are available from across Edinburgh, Midlothian, Perth, Kinross and Fife.
We believe it’s important for you to experience first-hand how our boys and girls thrive on a typical school day and we are pleased to offer you the opportunity to meet with our Headmaster, Rob Taylor, as well as enjoy a personal tour led by his wife, Sarah, throughout the school year.
