Ensuring children can fulfil all their potential
Craigclowan Prep School, set on a hillside to the south of Perth, provides a warm and nurturing environment for boys and girls aged from three to 13.
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.
With an average class size of 12 pupils, and a friendly, caring and supportive ethos, committed staff are able to get to know the children closely and treat them as individuals in all they do.
School staff value imagination, individualism and variety and want the children in their care to fulfil their talents wherever they lie.
Every pupil is encouraged to achieve their allround potential, academically, on the sports field and in more than 50 extra-curricular activities.
School is a hive of activity while the outdoor classroom, all-weather training ground, sports fields, Forest School and trim trail are used daily.
The team aims to make the most of the world outside the classroom through a range of outdoor activities that build confidence and resilience, encourage creativity and problem-solving and ensure rosy cheeks and muddy boots.
When it comes to moving on to senior school, all children once again secured places to their first choice senior school for the start of the 2017-18 academic year, many having been awarded scholarships.
The values instilled in pupils during their journey through Craigclowan, are the qualities that allow them to thrive after they leave.
To assist busy working parents, the Breakfast Club is open each morning from 7.30am and free after-school care is available until 6pm daily.
Holiday activity camps run during the summer, Christmas and Easter breaks and the fleet of minibuses bring children to school from across the region.
