Strathallan: Where learning comes to life

Strathallan School has always celebrated success. This is a place where pupils have the freedom to develop their own skills and attributes in a close and caring community.

Set in 153 acres of magnificent rural Perthshire, it is an outstanding place to learn.

The pupils enjoy a superb campus with excellent academic, sports, residential and recreational facilities.

They also make the most of the great outdoors: sports fields, a golf course, trout-stocked pond with a canoe slalom training area and many fascinating places to play and explore.

It is the only school in Scotland with a clay pigeon shooting range.

As well as achieving exceptional academic standards, Strathallan fosters a lifelong enjoyment of learning.

Teachers live on campus with their families and are involved in activities outside the classroom. This has profound educational benefits.

The bonds built up on the sports field, in the theatre or in music flourish in the classroom and it’s no surprise many pupils move on to top universities like Oxford, Cambridge and Edinburgh.

More than 60% of pupils are boarders. This ensures Strathallan bustles with activity all day, every day.

That’s also an advantage for day pupils and their parents.

Strathallan offers them the flexibility to stay well into the evening and to be fully involved in the myriad activities available on campus.

It has a great blend of local, national and international pupils.

The school welcomes diversity and celebrates the different interests and cultures its international pupils bring. It is a school of champions. Strathallan’s 1st XV made history by winning the U18 Scottish Rugby Schools’ Cup for the first time.

The nurturing environment and comprehensive development programme created by the director of rugby and the coaches has put Strathallan firmly on the map as one of the top development schools for rugby in Scotland.

In all sports the school has a strong track record for talent development.

Every pupil takes part in an extensive range of sports and physical education and we also run a broad curriculum to help elite athletes make the most of their sporting careers.

In the expressive arts, all pupils have opportunities to develop their performing and creative talents. Strathallan has its own theatre and a new state-of-the-art dance and drama studio.

More than half of all pupils play a musical instrument and there are numerous opportunities to perform to very high standards in the various contemporary, folk and pipe bands available in the school.

Strathallan provides an exceptional educational experience for children aged 9 to 18.

It is a school where effort is rewarded and where pupils are given the time and encouragement to grow into capable, confident young men and women who are ready for the challenges that lie ahead.
