Craigclowan
Craigclowan provides a warm and nurturing environment for boys and girls aged 3 – 13. Set in stunning grounds with magnificent views over Perthshire, the school has a distinguished history, a reputation for the highest standards and expectations and a passion for childhood.
The learning environment delivers a modern and distinctive education within a framework of proven traditional values, effectively balancing the best of old and new in education. Grant funding is available for nursery pupils and particular attention is paid to the transition period as nursery children begin their primary education. Every pupil is encouraged to achieve their all-round potential, both academically, on the sports field and in more than 50 extra-curricular activities on offer. These range from skiing, on the school’s own dry ski slope, to art clubs, judo, climbing, bushcraft skills, mountain biking, kayaking and fencing.
Craigclowan is a hive of activity. An outdoor classroom, all-weather training ground, sports fields, Forest School and trim trail are in daily use. The school aims to make the most of the world outside the classroom through a wide range of outdoor activities that build confidence and resilience, encourage creativity and problem solving and ensure rosy cheeks and muddy boots. With a friendly, caring and supportive ethos, staff are able to get to know the children closely and treat them as individuals in all they do. When it comes to moving on to senior school, Craigclowan children attend a wide variety of top UK schools, both north and south of the border, many with scholarships. The values instilled in pupils during their journey through Craigclowan, are the qualities that allow them to thrive after they leave us.
The school minibus fleet collects children from across the region and, to assist working parents, a Breakfast Club and free afterschool care are available. The school also operates a number of holiday activity camps throughout the year including multi-activity camps and hockey, cricket and tennis coaching.
