WELCOME TO MCNABB and TAIT

McNabb and Tait is the boys' boarding house. It is run as a family home with an ethos that emphasises cooperation and interdependence. The houseparents, Mr and Mrs McFadyean, are both teachers at the Academy, one in the Prep and one in the Senior School, while our five house tutors hail from the P.E., History & Modern Studies, Art & Design and English Departments. In addition there is a large team of Assistant Housestaff, who are on hand through the week to make sure that clothes are ironed, sports kit washed and the boys well fed and cared for. The McNabb and Tait family is completed by the two youngest members of the house, Mr & Mrs McFadyean’s children Freddie and Abi and their feline and canine friends George and Ozzy. Their presence throughout the house creates a real sense of a very large and happy family home.
