In today's school, traditional Scottish elements, such as the wearing of the kilt for formal occasions, are very prominent, and the Pipe Band features frequently in School life. Rugby is played enthusiastically throughout the school, and indeed the annual fixture against Edinburgh Academy, which has now been played continuously for over 100 years, is the longest established inter-club match in existence anywhere.

The school's motto 'Ready ay Ready' features in the chorus of the school song (last revised in the 1950s but much older in origin). This refrain is still sung enthusiastically by the school on frequent occasions.

The ethos is concerned with people and relationships, and particular importance is attached to the development of personal character and moral values in our pupils. The atmosphere, although in some respects formal, is also one of pleasant and relaxed collaboration between pupils and staff.
