Craigclowan School

Craigclowan provides a warm and nurturing environment for boys and girls aged three to 13. Set in stunning grounds with magnificent views over Perthshire, the school has a distinguished history and a reputation for the highest standards and expectations.

The pupils’ 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. Grant funding is available for pre-school pupils and particular attention is paid to the transition period as pre-school children begin their primary education. Every pupil is encouraged to achieve their all-round potential, both academically, on the sports field and in more than 50 extra-curricular activities on offer. These range from skiing, on the school’s own dry ski slope, to judo, metafit, bushcraft skills, mountain biking and fencing. The school is a hive of activity and their outdoor classroom, all-weather training ground, sports fields, Forest School and trim trail are in daily use. With an average class size of 12 pupils, and a friendly, caring and supportive ethos, staff are able to get to know the children closely and treat them as individuals in all they do. When it comes to moving on to senior school, all children secure places to their first choice school, many having been awarded scholarships.

Minibuses collect children from Kinross, Alyth, Blairgowrie, Meikleour and Cargill in the mornings and the latest addition to the minibus fleet operates the new bus route from Cupar in Fife. To assist working parents, the Breakfast Club is open from 7.30am and free after-school care is available for all children until 6pm daily. They also operate a number of holiday activity camps throughout the year including multi-activity camps and hockey, cricket and tennis coaching. Craigclowan might see you on the ski slopes at Glenshee on Saturdays this term!
