Meet Our Team
Ardvreck has an unbelievable team of staff, they are the movers and shakers, optimists, can doers, smilers and who all care, beyond belief, about the education and wellbeing of every single child in our school.
HEAD
Mr Peter Grant was appointed Ardvreck’s Head in August 2026.
Born and educated in Edinburgh, Peter studied at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London before working as a professional opera singer for 10 years. Ardvreck is very much a family affair for Peter with both his daughters attending Ardvreck School and his wife Michelle, being one of our singing teachers.
In his time Peter has played rugby for Boroughmuir, London-Scottish and the Honourable Artillery Company and represented both Scotland and the Lothians at golf as a schoolboy.
