A Sixth Form group were fortunate to take part in a Black History Walking Tour of Edinburgh. This was an excellent lead-in to our study of @rrobinson72 as we explored hidden Black histories and Edinburgh’s role in key moments of oppression and resistance - thank you @edincarib
The annual judging of the prestigious Morrison Handwriting Competition took place in the English department this morning. Students entered in their droves and after a highly contentious judging process, we are delighted to announce the winners of this year’s awards.

Well done to the 3rd form debaters: our first competition for this year group was won by Bea N, Jess B & Evie Mac, who defeated Martha P, George G & David G, and impressed 6th form judges Alex P, Geordie M, Ziyad AM & Ben L. Thanks to them all and to Miss Palmer for organising! – at Edinburgh, Scotland
This evening third form took part in our interclass debating competition! Competition was fierce going into the first round and semi-final then saw more heated debates. The ‘behind the scenes’ preparations in class meant this was a superb evening of debating.

This evening the A level English students have joined us in department for a special screening of one of their set texts as part of their revision. An excellent opportunity to recap the text as a whole and to enjoy some cinema snacks!

Miss Palmer’s lower sixth IB have been making the most of the gorgeous Scottish sunshine with some alfresco study of I Who Have Never Known Men, our mysterious and gripping text in translation for this half term.

What better way to start a week of adventure related non-fiction, than a lesson outside under a tank parachute? Third form were using this experience and drawing upon their own to discuss and write creatively about adventures this morning!

The English department and a group of upper sixth students had a fantastic trip to London this week to see The Duchess of Malfi at the Globe’s recreated Jacobean indoor theatre. A cracking performance to bring to life one of our A Level set texts.

A superb afternoon of live theatre in London seeing Othello! A really interesting modern interpretation of the play, complete with an actor playing Othello’s internal self alongside the protagonist. Lots of fab discussion in our McDonald’s debrief after…
Today lower and upper sixth students are on an exciting trip to London to see Othello! First stop, the British Library 📚
Taking a small group out tonight to see ‘Macbeth’. Hugely excited at the prospect of seeing Ralph Fiennes and Indira Varma in the leading roles! #MacbethTheShow #theplaythatmustnotbenamed
It’s been a glorious day in Edinburgh for International Literacy Day. We marked the occasion with a little al fresco Ibsen with some of our L6th. Meanwhile, our U6th IB students are finalising text choices for their individual oral. #LiteracyDay
Today saw the final of our Third Form poetry recital competition. The overall standard was fantastic and it was very hard to pick a winner. Find out more here: buzzsprout.com/1544329/episo…
On World Book Day, a few of our L6th were lucky enough to get down to London see the magnificent Sophie Okonedo in ‘Medea’. A sensational production in the new @sohoplacelondon.
An exciting development we have been delighted to support, bringing one of our favourite plays to life in a Fettes context - enjoy it if you have the chance!
