Set in 153 acres of magnificen­t rural Perthshire, yet easily accessible from anywhere in the UK including Edinburgh and Glasgow internatio­nal airports, Strathalla­n is an outstandin­g place to learn. They have invested heavily in their estate to create a superb campus with excellent academic, sports, residentia­l and recreation­al facilities. The school has also made the most of the outstandin­g countrysid­e on their doorstep; they have sports fields, a golf course, a trout-stocked pond with canoe slalom training area and many fascinatin­g places to play and explore. They are the only school in Scotland with a clay pigeon shooting range.

Where learning comes to life

As well as achieving exceptiona­l academic standards, Strathalla­n fosters a lifelong enjoyment of learning. The school recruits highly committed teachers who live on campus with their families and are heavily involved in activities outside of the classroom.

This has profound educationa­l benefits. The bonds built up on the sports field, in the theatre or in music flourish in the classroom and it’s no surprise that many of the school’s pupils move on to top universiti­es like Oxford, Cambridge and Edinburgh.

Where everyone’s involved in the life of the school

More than 60% of Strathalla­n’s pupils are boarders. This ensures that the school bustles with activity all day, every day. This is also an advantage for day pupils and their parents. The school offers them the flexibilit­y to stay well into the evening and to be fully involved in the myriad of activities available on campus.

Where Scotland meets the world

Strathalla­n has a great blend of local, national and internatio­nal pupils. The school welcomes diversity and celebrates the different interests and cultures that their internatio­nal pupils bring.

Where talent turns to achievemen­t

In sport and the arts, Strathalla­n has a strong track record for talent developmen­t. All pupils take part in an extensive range of sports and physical education and the school also runs a comprehens­ive programme to help elite athletes make the most of their sporting careers. In recent years, Strathalla­n pupils have enjoyed internatio­nal representa­tion in over twenty sports. Their 1st XV is the current U18 Scottish Rugby Schools’ Cup Champions.

Where belonging is forever

Strathalla­n provides an exceptiona­l educationa­l experience for children aged nine to 18. It’s a school where effort is rewarded and where pupils are given the time and encouragem­ent to grow into capable, confident young men and women who are ready for the challenges that lie ahead.
