Cargilfield Preparatory School is a private co-educational prep school in Edinburgh, Scotland. It was founded in 1873. It is a day and boarding school for boys and girls aged 3–13 and caters for approximately 300 pupils. ==History== Cargilfield was founded in 1873 by Rev Daniel Charles Darnell, and was the first independent preparatory school in Scotland. Originally the school was located in the Trinity area of Edinburgh; it was sometimes referred to as Cargilfield Trinity School. In 1899 the school relocated to Barnton.〔 In the period 2003-2012 the headmaster was John Elder. Among the changes he made to the school was the abolition of homework. 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. The school responded that it had rectified this situation as soon as it was made aware of it, and apologised "unreservedly" for the administrative error. Academically, the school has recently been notably successful in mathematics, reaching the finals of the UKMT Team Mathematics Challenge competition in 2013, 2014 and 2015, despite the school's oldest children being 13 years old while the competition is aimed at children in Years 8 and 9 (aged 12-14). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cargilfield Preparatory School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
