MERCHISTON CASTLE SCHOOL

Why does this matter? It is what makes for meaningful and connected conversations. It is how we will get to know your son really well. It is why we can support and motivate him in just the right way. It is what will help him strive for the highest standards and be the very best version of himself he can be.

Athletics is one of the three major sports at Merchiston. It is predominantly a summer sport with fixtures against other schools which take place in the final term. Most of the fixtures are against local Edinburgh schools or at Pitreavie Stadium in Fife. Additional to this we also compete South of the Border at Gateshead Arena at the HMC North of England Championships and also enter the Scottish Schools Indoor Championships at Emirates Arena in the Lent Term.

EDINBURGH CASTLE


Edinburgh Castle is a historic fortress which dominates the skyline of Edinburgh, the capital city of Scotland, from its position on the Castle Rock. Archaeologists have established human occupation of the rock since at least the Iron Age (2nd century AD), although the nature of the early settlement is unclear. There has been a royal castle on the rock since at least the reign of David I in the 12th century, and the site continued at times to be a royal residence until 1633.


From the 15th century, the castle's residential role declined, and by the 17th century it was principally used as military barracks with a large garrison. Its importance as a part of Scotland's national heritage was recognised increasingly from the early 19th century onwards, and various restoration programmes have been carried out over the past century and a half.


As one of the most important strongholds in the Kingdom of Scotland, Edinburgh Castle was involved in many historical conflicts from the Wars of Scottish Independence in the 14th century to the Jacobite rising of 1745. Research undertaken in 2014 identified 26 sieges in its 1100-year-old history, giving it a claim to having been "the most besieged place in Great Britain and one of the most attacked in the world".


Few of the present buildings pre-date the Lang Siege of the 16th century when the medieval defences were largely destroyed by artillery bombardment. The most notable exceptions are St Margaret's Chapel from the early 12th century, which is regarded as the oldest building in Edinburgh, the Royal Palace and the early-16th-century Great Hall, although the interiors have been much altered from the mid-Victorian period onwards. The castle also houses the Scottish regalia, known as the Honours of Scotland and is the site of the Scottish National War Memorial and the National War Museum of Scotland. The British Army is still responsible for some parts of the castle, although its presence is now largely ceremonial and administrative. Some of the castle buildings house regimental museums which contribute to its presentation as a tourist attraction.


The castle, in the care of Historic Environment Scotland, is Scotland's most and the United Kingdom's second most-visited paid tourist attraction, with over 2.1 million visitors in 2018 and over 70 percent of leisure visitors to Edinburgh visiting the castle. As the backdrop to the Edinburgh Military Tattoo during the annual Edinburgh Festival, the castle has become a recognisable symbol of Edinburgh and Scotland.

HISTORY & POLITICS


In the History and Politics departments, we bring the past to life and shed light on the present. Nowadays, History is more valued than ever by both universities and employers. It teaches skills which are key for the workplace, as well as for modern life as whole; such as problem-solving, prioritising the significant from the trivial, organising material and arguing a case, and presenting information in a way that makes sense to others. 


Politics is about power, in all its forms. A Level Politics gives students the opportunity to study how power works, first of all in Britain, and then in the wider world. Politics is an A Level course that is highly respected by universities, and studying it for A Level will help to prepare you for any humanities based course at university.

JUNIOR SPORTS PITCH


The below text is what a Third Form boy (12-13) would expect to be doing in a normal week at Merchiston:


The boys in our Junior School are incredibly active in a number of different sports and activities. A clear emphasis is on participation, enjoyment and learning without losing the competitive ethos of our school sport. The boys enjoy time spent in academic curriculum PE lessons (4hrs per week), training sessions in major sports (6hrs per week), an extensive activity programme (6hrs per week), and compete in at least two external school fixtures during a typical week.


The boys have access to several highly qualified coaches throughout the Junior School daily. They are coached and mentored by senior school coaches, who one hour might be coaching our U9 boys and the next hour be managing an U18 1st XV or 1st XI.

PHYSICS LAB


The main aim of the Physics Department is to promote a genuine enjoyment of the subject and appreciate how Physics can help to understand the world in which we live.


"Our challenging Physics extension classes cover three undergraduate courses: introduction to quantum mechanics, special relativity and geometric optics. This allows the boys to work independently, but with support, on a course, they might meet in their undergraduate studies.”

Merchiston has a proud and successful tradition in a wide range of sports, and the School is committed to achieving excellence in all of the representative sports. Diversity is achieved through the Physical Education curriculum and the activity programmes, through which the boys have an excellent opportunity to experience a wide range of activities.
It is important to note that we always endeavour to think of each boy’s ‘journey’ in terms of his ongoing fitness and his personal welfare in this area, both while he is at Merchiston, and indeed beyond his school career.

WELCOME TO MERCHISTON


Many schools can boast about their exceptional academics, university successes, extensive sporting and co-curricular programmes, internationalists, specialist sporting academies, welcoming atmospheres and stunning grounds and facilities. Indeed, we can do that as well.


What makes us different, however, is a combination of things: our size, a genuine focus on the needs of the individual, and the fact that we really understand boys and how to get the very best out of them. It is a potent trio. It is what enables us to know our boys really well and to understand what makes them tick. 
Our community’s wellbeing is central; without it no one will ever achieve their best. That is why wellbeing underpins everything we do.  Our boys thrive because they are known, understood, valued, and supported in everything they do. 


Merchiston is a remarkable school where boys make lifelong friends and community connections whilst gaining a world-class, global, outward-looking education.


Our success proves that what we do works.

HISTORY OF GIBSON HOUSE


Colinton House


Around 1790, Sir William Forbes bought the Colinton estate, which contained Colinton Castle. He set about building Colinton House, appointing Richard Crichton as his chosen architect. Richard Crichton jointly designed the Bank of Scotland on the Mound and his drawings of Colinton House are now amongst the Fettercairn drawings.


In October 1924, Dr JW Dowden persuaded the Merchiston Board to purchase the 100-acre estate of Colinton House, together with its stables, walled garden and parkland and in the Autumn Term of 1930, the School opened at its new location. The original intention was that Colinton House would become the Prep School for the younger boys but sadly there was a need to reduce the overall cost and the plans were revised. It is now named Gibson House after John Gibson, Headmaster of Merchiston between 1850 and 1856 and at present Physics, Chemistry and Biology are taught in this building.
