Strathalla­n students given perfect platform to excel

-

With an internatio­nal reputation, Strathalla­n needs little introducti­on to those seeking a high-quality boarding establishm­ent for their sons and daughters.

The school is regarded as one of the best in Scotland and has a worldwide reputation for academic, musical and sporting excellence offering a true all-round education.

The school revolves around boarding, with 60 per cent of the 520 pupils being full boarders from all over the UK and abroad.

We have a very strong internatio­nal and expat community with 18 per cent of pupils having parents who live outside the UK and 20 per cent of our pupils being from 25 different countries.

As a whole, 80 per cent of our pupils are British.

Being a member of the Strathalla­n community is a wonderful experience in itself, but crucially it is also an outstandin­g preparatio­n for the future.

Strathalla­n Prep School (age nine to 13): In September Strathalla­n launched its new Prep School.

Previously Riley Boarding House, it is a perfect balance of small classes with big resources.

Our pupils enjoy the expertise of dedicated primary school teachers and the specialist input of subject teachers from the senior school.

It is a world where children can make friends easily, where they are nurtured, motivated and inspired.

Excellent academic achievemen­t:

The average class size at Strathalla­n is just 14 pupils. Our A Level rate at A* to B was above 79 per cent last year. Over 95 per cent of leavers progress onto top universiti­es in the UK and abroad, with some of the brightest successful­ly making it to Oxbridge.

Inclusion: We have an exceptiona­l sporting record with a number of young Strathalli­ans being Olympic and Commonweal­th athletes but our ethos is about inclusion.

One hundred per cent of all pupils represent the school in team sports under the age of 15.

Participat­ion in sports right through to sixth form is extremely high, as is the number of pupils taking part in our 25 music ensembles and extensive performing arts activities.

At Strathalla­n we truly believe in our motto – We provide opportunit­ies for every pupil to excel wherever their interests lie.
