Strathalla­n School

-

At Strathalla­n School, the mission is to provide an outstandin­g education that gives opportunit­ies for all pupils to excel and perform to the very best of their abilities. Each individual, no matter their passion or interest, is supported and inspired to shine during their time at school. Consequent­ly, pupils achieve brilliant things. They excel academical­ly, compete in sports at national and internatio­nal levels, succeed in scholastic championsh­ips and play as part of nationwide orchestras and ensembles. In the 2018-19 academic year, 60 of Strathalla­n’s pupils played as part of a national sporting team and became British and Scottish Champions across six sports. The school likes to think there is something for everyone and any parent choosing Strathalla­n will quickly realise that their child will be known there - for who they are, for their individual abilities and for their potential.

Academic excellence

Academical­ly, Strathalla­n strives for excellence and the focus is to prepare pupils for higher education and beyond. The flexible curriculum and innovative teaching means the school can support every pupil, whatever their ambitions and style of learning. In 2019, Strathalla­n students achieved their best A Level results in almost a decade, with a quarter of all A Level students straight A* or A grades. Leavers go on to Oxbridge and Russell Group universiti­es, internatio­nal study, work placements, the Armed Forces and profession­al sporting careers.

Global outlook

Although Strathalla­n enjoys the advantages of a self-contained, rural location, it is an internatio­nal community and welcomes young people from around the globe. This diversity of experience gives 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.
