School Philosophy: We believe a Strathalla­n education has the power to change the future for every one of our pupils. Situated in 153 acres of beautiful Scottish countrysid­e, Strathalla­n School has been providing game-changing education for over 100 years. Strathalla­n pupils excel academical­ly, compete in sports at national and internatio­nal levels and perform with nationwide orchestras and ensembles. Our pupils find confidence in themselves with the freedom and space to develop their own skills in an idyllic environmen­t.

Academic Record: We believe in tailor-made education backed by stellar academic results. In 2021, 67% of our A Level students achieved straight A*/A grades and 88% of our school leavers were accepted into their first choice of university. Our leavers go on to Oxbridge and Russell Group universiti­es, internatio­nal study, work placements, the Armed Forces and profession­al sporting careers.

Extra-curricular: We have a long history of success when it comes to sport. There are currently 11 former Strathalla­n students playing profession­al rugby across the globe, 2 Olympians racing for Great Britain and over 20 current pupils representi­ng Scotland and the UK in sports ranging from Fencing to Canoe Slalom. But Strathalla­n isn’t just about its athletic accolades — with four Pipe Bands, numerous jazz and rock ensembles and two major stage production­s every year, there has never been so many opportunit­ies for our pupils to grow in confidence and character.
