Less pressured private schools in Edinburgh?

Looking at senior schools and they all seem so keen to tell you about their results and facilities. I’m worried about pressure levels.
Are any of them known for being a bit less pressured?
We’ve discounted Clifton hall (for very small size) and Steiner (for being too much of a wildcard) I think.

have a look at loretto. its in Musselburgh, so a 20 minute drive, 7 minute train journey or 30 minute cycle from edinburgh, but is friendly and is very proud of their sporting achievements x

Ah, we’re to the West of Edinburgh so I don’t think that’s doable.

Thanks though!

Sorry, that was me googling Blush. I remember someone mentioning a particular school but couldn't remember the name - was looking for the list to see if any rung a bell - they didn't :(

DC are at Watson’s. I just asked DD (S2) and she says she only feels pressure from me and none from Watson’s. Blush I suspect DS (S5) would say the same thing.

Try the Montessori school they had secondary open day recently

I’m not seeing any Montessori for secondary? Just up to 12. Might be being blind though. Smile

Ah thanks. Don’t think we’re brave enough to be the first cohort! Grin

How far to the west are you? Anywhere out as far as the bridges?

BiscuitDrama · 30/06/2019 08:03

No, just Blackhall.
Sorry, hadn’t seen your reply!
