Wellies, dens, laughter on timetable at Ardvreck

-

Tucked away from the stresses and strains of modern life, in breathtaki­ng Perthshire countrysid­e, Ardvreck Preparator­y School – an independen­t boarding and day school for children aged three to 13 – nurtures and educates your children in a caring, and loving, family environmen­t.

The school, known for its sense of adventure and creativity, has announced its expansion plans to open a new, specially-designed, nursery school within its campus of over 40 stunning acres.

The child-focused nursery building will provide a unique educationa­l space for up to 30 children, and is in partnershi­p with Perth and Kinross Council to offer 1140 hours of funded early learning.

All visitors gasp at the awe-inspiring views of doorstep Munros as they make

their way up the school’s sweeping drive.

Their attention is soon diverted to the even more thrilling spectacle of laughing, kilted and wellied children hanging out of trees, hiding in dens or building dams in the burn which flows down the headmistre­ss’s lawn.

This is most definitely the school every grown-up wishes they had attended.

It’s where kindness, courtesy and good manners are at the forefront of every human interactio­n.

It’s an environmen­t where working hard and playing hard are of equal importance and where good humour and fun permeate every undertakin­g.

It will come as no surprise then, that head teachers from public schools all over the UK are very keen to enlist Ardvreck pupils. This year, our leavers are heading to a total of 10 different public schools, including Eton and St Mary’s, Ascot.
