George Heriot's School is an independent day school in Edinburgh offering primary and secondary education for children aged 4-18. Situated on Lauriston Place within a UNESCO world heritage site, it is recognised as Scotland's oldest independent school. Its curriculum blends academic rigour with a broad range of activities and sports, and its foundation was established to educate children who have lost a parent. The school holds a UNICEF Rights Respecting gold award, British Council International School status, and an LGBT Schools gold charter, and Gareth Warren was appointed principal in 2021. It has been recognised for high achievement in national rankings, including top placement among Scotland's independent secondary schools in The Sunday Times Parent Power guide for 2022.
