Members of the Senior School were given an exciting behind-the-scenes look at one of Edinburgh’s most ambitious developments a £35 million student accommodation project currently taking shape in the city.
The visit was made even more special by the warm welcome from former pupil, Marcus Weeks, who is leading the project. Marcus generously invited the group for an exclusive tour, offering a first-hand insight into the scale, complexity, and innovation involved in delivering such a major development.
Students had the opportunity to explore the site and hear directly from Marcus about the wide range of challenges faced from design and logistics to project management at this impressive scale. His journey from pupil to industry leader provided an inspiring example of where ambition and hard work can lead.
Experiences like this highlight the incredible value of our alumni network. It’s fantastic to see former pupils giving back, creating meaningful opportunities, and strengthening the connection between past and present members of the school community. #longridgetowersschool #alumni #carpediem

This week’s Alumni Throwback Thursday celebrates the spirit of the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award 🌿
The Award is a cornerstone of personal development at our school. Through a combination of volunteering, physical activity, skill-building, and expeditions, pupils are encouraged to challenge themselves, step beyond their comfort zones, and discover what they are truly capable of. Whether navigating the outdoors, working as part of a team, or developing new talents, every element of the Award helps to build resilience, confidence, and independence. Spending time outside plays a vital role too, supporting mental wellbeing, encouraging connection with nature, and offering space to reset and reflect. The sense of achievement gained along the way is something that stays with our students long after they complete their journey.
The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award is more than a programme, it’s an experience that shapes character, creates lasting memories, and prepares young people for the future.
Do you remember your DofE journey? We’d love to hear your stories - share them in the comments! #tagafriend #whatisyourmemory #alumni #throwbackthursday #longridgetowersschool #dukeofedinburghsaward
