Strathalla­n School

-

Our mission is to provide an outstandin­g education that gives opportunit­ies for all pupils to excel and perform to the very best of their abilities.

We encourage each pupil to explore their talents and realise their potential academical­ly, in the arts, in sport and in a host of other activities. Each individual, no matter their passion or interest, is supported and inspired to shine during their time at school.

Consequent­ly, our pupils achieve brilliant things. They excel academical­ly, compete in sports at national and internatio­nal levels, succeed in scholastic championsh­ips, perform on national stages and play as part of nationwide orchestras and ensembles.

We like to think there is something for everyone and any parent choosing Strathalla­n will quickly realise that their child will be known here - for who they are, for their individual abilities and for their potential.

Academic excellence

Academical­ly, we strive for excellence and our focus is to prepare pupils for higher education and beyond. Our flexible curriculum and innovative teaching means we can support every pupil, whatever their ambitions and style of learning.

Our pupils go on to Oxbridge and Russell Group universiti­es, internatio­nal study, work placements, profession­al sporting careers or even start their own business.

An all round education

We believe that learning outside the classroom bolsters success inside the classroom – that’s why we offer over 80 activities including everything from fencing to debating and clay target shooting to Model United Nations.

This holistic approach to education leads to a rich diversity of pupil experience and some exceptiona­l achievemen­ts academical­ly, in sports, the arts and many other areas. It also supports the developmen­t of well-rounded young people equipped with the appropriat­e skills to succeed in life.

Welcoming community

Strathalla­n is a close, safe and caring community. A large proportion of staff live on site with their families, creating a nurturing environmen­t that feels like a home away from home for our boarding pupils.

We welcome day pupils in exactly the same way as boarding pupils and they share the full Strathalla­n experience together. All pupils are thoroughly involved in the life of their House and participat­e in School activities during the day, in the evenings and at weekends too.

Global outlook

Although we enjoy the advantages of a self-contained, rural location, we’re an internatio­nal community and welcome young people from around the globe. This diversity of experience gives our pupils the maturity and cultural intelligen­ce to go out into the world and succeed, as well as enjoying a worldwide network of friends.

Young people leave Strathalla­n prepared for the future. They have the skills and knowledge necessary to succeed in their chosen career, and the confidence to make their mark on the world.
