Accommodation

The school believes it has a responsibility to make sure students enjoy every aspect of their course, which includes helping find the most suitable accommodation. Isobel Edgar, the student welfare officer, works with each student to help him or her get settled into his or her new home.

Over the years the school has built up a network of local host families who offer students a home from home, with a comfortable private room and all meals included in the monthly rental of £490.

This option suits students without families and is also the most economical as it reduces essential living costs to less than £17 per day.

The school has a network of local landlords who offer two or three bedroom properties, all within a five-mile radius of the school. These are most suitable for students with a family. The average rent per property is £520 per calendar month, exclusive of charges for fuel and telephone.

Another option is for students to rent a shared flat in the nearby town of Haddington. This accommodation ranges between £230 and £290 per head, per month, exclusive of food, telephone and fuel.
