History
Cargilfield was founded in 1873 by Rev Daniel Charles Darnell[1] an Episcopalian and former master at Rugby School[2] and was the first independent preparatory school in Scotland. Originally, the school was located at Cargilfield, a large villa on South Trinity Road in the Trinity area of Edinburgh. It was sometimes referred to as Cargilfield Trinity School. It largely served as a feeder school to nearby Fettes College.
In 1899, the school relocated to Barnton.[3]
In the period 2003–2012, the headmaster was John Elder. Among the changes he made to the school was the abolition of homework.[4]
In 2014, the UK government named the school in a list of 25 UK employers which had failed to pay workers the national minimum wage, for underpaying an artist in residence by £3,739.[5] The school responded that it had rectified this situation as soon as it was made aware of it, and apologised.[6]
The school has reached the finals of the UKMT Team Mathematics Challenge competition in five consecutive years (2013,[7] 2014, [8] 2015, [9] 2016, and [10] 2017.[11] )
