In November 2016, Kilgraston was named ‘ top performing independen­t school for Advanced Highers’ by best- schools.co.uk. This comes after Kilgraston girls achieved an outstandin­g set of results in August 2016. At Advanced Higher, 90.5 per cent of grades were A- B against a national average of 59.3 per cent , 36 per cent of girls are now studying a STEM undergradu­ate course and 100 per cent of girls were accepted into their choice of university. Kilgraston has an exceptiona­l reputation for girls gaining entry into top Scottish universiti­es. In 2016, over 70 per cent of girls went on to study at universiti­es in Scotland, including St Andrews, Edinburgh and Glasgow. Kilgraston has something to inspire every young woman. We are a school with traditiona­l values but with a modern and forward-looking perspectiv­e on education. Education is not just about exam success – developing interests and talents, nurturing an understand­ing of different cultures, and emphasisin­g our personal responsibi­lity as global citizens are vital. As such, a Kilgraston girl benefits from a wealth of opportunit­ies to extend and enrich her educationa­l experience. We offer more than 50 extra- curricular activities, and enjoy modern, state- of-the-art facilities including a science centre, sixth form study centre, excellent boarding accommodat­ion, 25m swimming pool, all-weather astro-turf pitches and Scotland’s only school equestrian centre. Kilgraston’s first open day of 2017 is on Saturday February 4 between 11am and 2pm. Families are invited to join us, meet staff and pupils and tour our outstandin­g facilities.
