Models of Dynamical Electroweak Symmetry Breaking are expected to display a quasi-conformal scaling behaviour in order to accommodate experimental constraints. The scaling properties of a theory can be studied using finite volume renormalisation schemes. Among these, the most practical ones are based on the Schr\"odinger Functional (SF). However, lattices accessible in nu- merical simulations suffer from potentially large cutoff effects and special care has to be taken to remove these effects. Here we will study the standard setup of the SF with Wilson quarks and a setup with chirally rotated boundary conditions. We study the step scaling function for SU(2) and SU(3) gauge groups in the fundamental, 2-index symmetric and adjoint representations. We per- form the O(a)-improvement of both setups to 1-loop order in perturbation theory, and we describe a way of minimising higher order cutoff effects by a redefinition of the renormalised coupling.
