Drama, music, sport and art are all part of the daily curriculum; the children can surf, ride, ski and play golf, not to mention the more traditional pursuits of reeling and piping! They are however just as happy to play with their friends, enjoying the school’s beautiful grounds, walled garden and outdoor heated swimming pool! Belhaven has seen many recent developments to ensure its facilities are as one would expect and this refurbishment is ongoing with revamped boys’ dormitories, and plans afoot for the girls’ house too with a dedicated medical centre.
Belhaven Hill School in Dunbar is only 40 minutes from the centre of Edinburgh and sits in the most stunning coastal location. The school has a long and proud history, having been founded in 1923 and is now Scotland’s leading co- educational full boarding and day prep school for 7-13 year olds. Headmaster, Henry Knight and his wife, Susannah, have been at the helm since September 2016. The school offers full boarding (70% of children board) and day places, and has a one ‘weekend in’, one ‘weekend out’ system, regarded as the perfect balance for children of prep school age.

Our pupils go on to the top schools in England and Scotland, many having won academic, sport, art, music and all round scholarships.

“My wife, Susannah, and I welcome you warmly to Belhaven Hill and invite you to discover for yourself what makes it such a magical place,” says Henry Knight, Belhaven Hill’s Headmaster. T: +44 (0)1368 862785
