Cargilfield Talks

In our first Cargilfield Talks podcast, our Headmaster, Rob Taylor, discusses children's mental health with our professional school counsellor, Clare McAteer; our Head of Pre Prep, Emma Buchanan and our teacher Nicola Lyell who leads the mindfulness programme for children at Cargilfield. 

Cargilfield is the only stand-alone independent prep school in Edinburgh, providing a nurturing and stimulating education for children aged 3 to 13. We are proud of a broad curriculum, leading to Common Entrance and scholarship exams for children at 13 but teaching a wide range of subjects with specialist teachers from 8+. As a family school, we accept a wide range of abilities and personalities, but we believe that our small classes purposely kept at 18, high expectations and enthusiastic teaching allow our children to flourish. The Education Scotland Inspection Report 2023 rated our attainment levels as outstanding and sector-leading across the country.
