Knitting Board
Independent Boarding Schools in Edinburgh
For some families boarding school is a tradition which spans many generations, and for others it is a practical solution to the difficulties presented by the need to move location frequently. Boarding can provide children whose families need to move often with security and stability that may otherwise be disrupted by these frequent moves.
Edinburgh’s boarding schools pride themselves on creating a “home from home” for the children that stay with them, creating small, closely knitted communities in which children can settle and thrive, and in which other pupils and school staff can become like members of an extended family. Boarding is usually either full time or on a weekly basis with pupils returning home at the weekends. However, increasingly schools are also offering boarding on a flexible basis which can be helpful at busy times such as in the lead up to exams, or if parents need to be away from home for a finite period. Edinburgh is extremely well located for boarding pupils as it offers excellent transport links via the international airports both in Edinburgh and Glasgow, the national rail network, and of course the road network linking to the rest of Scotland and the rest of the United Kingdom. For these reasons, Edinburgh is a popular choice for parents who live overseas.
The majority of Edinburgh’s independent schools offer only limited boarding places, with the majority of pupils attending as day pupils. They are essentially day schools with a boarding facility.
Fees at boarding schools are significantly higher than for day schools as the children are living at the school for the majority of term time. For details of the fees at each of the boarding schools in Edinburgh, please see An overview of fees for independent schools in Edinburgh.
Pastoral Staff at Edinburgh’s Boarding Schools Edinburgh’s boarding schools are very experienced and sensitive to the issues that arise from children being separated from their families and they do their best to integrate new boarding pupils into the “family” that is the Boarding House. In addition to normal school staff and teachers, pupils will be cared for by “House Parents” or “Matrons” who will provide care for the children round the clock. They will actively encourage integration into the boarding community, and help to build relationships and friendships between pupils, particularly between younger pupils, pupils new to boarding and older pupils who can act as big brothers or sisters.
The school staff will also take care to ensure that there is active communication between children and their parents ensuring that children have the time and privacy to telephone parents, email news etc. They will also keep parents advised of any significant sporting events or musical or dramatic events that their children may be featuring in so that parents can make arrangements, if possible, to visit at that time.
Boarding facilities are generally modern and welcoming with a mixture of private bedrooms and public social areas. It is often the case that younger children will share bedrooms but older children will often be provided with private bedrooms as schools recognize the need for privacy both socially and for the benefit of studies. Children are usually able to fill their rooms with their possessions, posters etc. as they would at home.
Boarding Houses usually also offer public kitchen and laundry areas (schools also provide a laundry service) as well as sitting rooms, television, and sometimes games rooms. Nearly all of the schools detailed above will allow a pupil to have a trial boarding session at which they can stay for a night and fully experience boarding.

Closely Knit on Scarlatt: Romantic Suspense $4.99 Romantic Suspense From An Award Winning Author. Here is a unique new novel of romantic suspense from the Balrog and Mark Twain award writer. When the Mafia decides to kidnap Benjamin Scarlatt, a retired British spy, they hire the services of the world’s most reclusive assassin to slip him the needle and drug him into unconsciousness. Known only by the code name “the “Knitting Lady,” this accomplished killer, whose identity has never been discovered, has pulled off some of the most audacious assassins of modern time. However, the Mafia doesn’t know two important things about the Knitting Lady. The first is that the Knitting Lady is no code name, it’s an accurate description! The dread assassin really is a little old lady who sits quietly in corners and knits! The second is that she has a code of ethics! Soon the Knitting Lady, AKA Olive Shaughnessy, has resolved to betray the Mafia and secretly protect her intended target. But as the two are thrown together on board a passenger ship, the Knitting Lady finds herself falling under the spell of Benjamin Scarlatt, and begins to suspect her affections are returned. Is romance possible in the December of life for a woman whose hands are stained with bloos? And, with the Mafia closing in, will that life last much longer? Or, can the Knitting Lady live up to her reputation and discover a way to unknit the deadly pattern of intrigue in which they are emeshed and weave one that is closer to heart’s desire? |

Stories of the Courage to Teach: Honoring the Teacher’s Heart $18.95 WISE STORIES TO HONOR AND ENCOURAGE THE HEARTS OF TEACHERS”A heartwarming collection of essays about the doubts, passions, insecurities, and life-changing moments of teachers.”—American School Board Journal”Our history books are filled with examples of the efforts of committed education employees who helped to make this country what it is today. Stories of the Courage to Teach challenges today’s teachers to see themselves not only as school employees, dedicated to serving children, but as leaders in their schools and communities.” —Bob Chase, president, National Education Association”It’s the worst-kept secret in education: the passionate and talented teacher makes more of a difference than any school policy. Yet for all the ink spilled over school reform, little gets written about what makes a great teacher tick. Stories of the Courage to Teach . . .
