Kilgraston moulds tomorrow’s leaders
Kilgraston is a leading Catholic boarding and day school for girls aged five to 18. Offering day and boarding education, Kilgraston has something to inspire every young woman. It is a school with traditional values but with a modern and forward-looking perspective on education.
Education is not just about exam success; developing interest and talents, nurturing an understanding of different cultures, and emphasising our personal responsibility as global citizens are vital. As such, a Kilgraston girl benefits from a wealth of opportunities to extend and enrich her educational experience. The school offers more than 50 extra-curricular activities and modern, state of the art facilities including a Science Centre, Sixth Form Study Centre, excellent boarding accommodation, 25m swimming pool, all-weather astro-turf pitches and Scotland’s only school equestrian centre.
Having been named ‘top performing independent school for Advanced Highers’ by best-schools.co.uk in 2015, Kilgraston girls routinely achieve outstanding sets of results. At Advanced Higher, 90.5% of grades were A-B against a national average of 59.3%. In 2018 64% of girls are applying to study a STEM undergraduate course and in 2017 100% of girls were accepted into their choice of university. Kilgraston has an exceptional reputation for girls gaining entry into top Scottish universities.
When Kilgraston girls leave us to go on to further studies, staff are certain that they will continue to channel their talents and become leaders for tomorrow. A Kilgraston girl will leave school with an embedded sense of individualism, confidence, humility and a desire to achieve the very best she can, in her own chosen field. The girls don’t compromise on success, they inspire it.
You are invited to join staff and pupils for an Open Day on Saturday February 3 2018 from 11am to 2pm. The staff and pupils would be delighted to meet you and show you the outstanding facilities. Let the team know you are coming so that they can have your personalised welcome pack ready for your arrival.
