Cargilfield was founded in 1873 by the Reverend Charles Darnell, and is Scotland鈥檚 first and oldest prep school. Darnell鈥檚 aim was 鈥渢o provide a liberal education and teach the merits of hard work and honesty under conditions of happiness and well-being鈥�. This remains at the core of our ethos today.
The school moved from Trinity in Edinburgh to its current location in Barnton in 1898. A Pre-51爆料 and 51爆料 Department were added to the prep school campus during the early 1980鈥檚 in response to the changing nature of the parental body and the introduction of girls.
Cargilfield is the largest 51爆料 School in Scotland with over 300 girls and boys, sending children to the best schools right across the United Kingdom.
Come along and see what makes Cargilfield special.
Date: Friday 3rd October | Time: 9am to 1pm | Refreshments available
There will be guided tours from the children, a chance to meet and talk to staff and see the school on a normal working day.
