School Description

The Mary Erskine School is part of ESMS, a vibrant, friendly, family of schools, set in beautiful grounds in the heart of Edinburgh. We are a diamond school with a co-educational Junior School and Sixth Form. Girls move to The Mary Erskine School at the start of secondary school, allowing them to find their voices, ignore stereotypes and become confident, secure, ambitious young women. At sixth form they return to a co-educational learning environment to prepare them for life after school. This provides girls with the best of both worlds.
Our academic record is strong but it is the rounded education and the extraordinary opportunities we provide that make our girls stand out. Our extensive outdoor learning programme builds resilience and self-belief and our unrivalled range of extra-curricular activities encourages the girls to challenge themselves, discover what they are capable of and excel in ways they never thought possible. Girls leave the school with lifelong friendships, ready to take their place in society as strong leaders and role-models for other women.
