Welcome to our world

-

Strathalla­n is a place of excellence and opportunit­y for all. For more than 100 years, we’ve been an open and progressiv­e school with a strong sense of community. We welcome pupils from all cultures and background­s, celebratin­g the diversity that makes up the rich tapestry of Strathalla­n life.

At Strathalla­n, our levels of participat­ion in sport are extremely high in every year because we believe everyone should have the chance to play in a school team. Whether it’s rugby or hockey, tennis or fencing, we help our students discover their abilities. Our excellent facilities and experience­d coaches combine to create an enhanced sporting programme for every level, from beginner to internatio­nal athlete. Performanc­e plays a major part in life here at Strathalla­n, and we are constantly encouragin­g students to expand their horizons and open their minds to a world of creativity. Over 50 per cent of students play a musical instrument, and with more than 25 ensembles and lots of performanc­e opportunit­ies, from drama and musical theatre to informal concerts, every student has the chance to discover their own particular passion.

In our Middle School, Riley, pupils have dedicated primary teachers and subject specialist­s from the senior part of the school, meaning academic skills develop from an early age. There’s a huge range of facilities available, and the chance to try out new things, which we highly recommend.

At Strathalla­n, we are committed to recognisin­g and rewarding tremendous talent from across the globe. That’s why, every year, we offer a limited number of prestigiou­s scholarshi­ps across academics, sports and the arts. Successful candidates who demonstrat­e a highlevel of achievemen­t and potential will be honoured with a place and awarded a remission on fees. We also offer a number of means-tested bursaries giving every talented child the opportunit­y to access our education.
