Heriot’s philosophy is built around an ethos that places the wellbeing and happiness of the child at the heart of what we do. Care, respect and responsibility are virtues that embody our school. Using these virtues, we shape an environment that is empowering, liberating and challenging; an environment that develops children to be adventurous, adaptable and resilient, providing a rich array of opportunities and experiences for every young person.
Equipping pupils with an understanding of what and how they learn, helping them acquire a portfolio of life skills and attain exceptional academic standards lie at the heart of a Heriot’s education. Being able to reflect on their development, pupils can build a deep knowledge of themselves, their character and attributes, enabling them to become young adults who will flourish in the future world, with compassion and humility.
