Head Teacher Update 25/5/22
Dear Parents and Students
In case you haven’t heard, Saturday is Cup Final Day – no not that cup final but the Lothian Schools’ League Cup Final involving a certain team from Forrester. The S2 boys, coached by Kieran Millar, have been outstanding ambassadors for the school at home and on their travels. They were unbeaten in the league and narrowly missed out on being crowned league champions after an entertaining 3 -3 draw with first place George Watsons. Although I’m sure they will go on to more glory next year, the League Cup is their last opportunity to lift some silverware this season. So, if you have a spare 90 minutes (plus extra time) please come and give the boys your support.
As Kayden’s poster (displayed all over the school and below) shows:
Date: Saturday 28th May
Kick-off: 9:30am
Venue: Meggetland
Thanks and best wishes
Stephen Rafferty
Head Teacher

Dear Parents and Students
Two weeks have already passed since we returned from the Easter Holiday, and the SQA exams are in full swing. I am so proud of all our senior students for working hard to prepare for exams and approaching these in such a positive manner. I am also extremely grateful for the extra work our staff put in over the Easter Holidays, to ensure students were ready and that they could go into these exams with more confidence. In addition to the study support guidance already shared, parents may like to have a look at materials and advice on the Parentzone Scotland website. (more…)

Head Teacher Update 27/2/22
Dear Parents and Students
The continuation of self-isolation rules means that we are still seeing high levels of staff and student absence. However, with the changes to other restrictions, I am optimistic that we are gradually returning to more normal ways of working. It has been a long hall for everyone but, at last, things are beginning to ease. This update contains information about: (more…)
