Kilgraston School

-

Kilgraston is a dynamic boarding and day school which offers a world-class education that is both academic and personal for girls aged 5 to 18. Set in 54 acres of stunning parkland, Kilgraston offers security and space to grow and develop while providing a tranquil environmen­t for the girls to concentrat­e without distractio­n.

In 2017, 55% of passes at Higher were awarded an A grade and 83% were awarded A/B grades against a national average of 54%. Emily Dark, Lower Sixth (S5), at the age of 16 has played for Scotland Under 21 hockey team this year and achieved five A grades in her Highers. Similarly, Daisy Fonicello who became Scottish Fencing Champion this year also achieved five straight A grades in her Highers. In the Upper Sixth 100% of our girls gained a place at their chosen university.

Offering day and boarding education, Kilgraston has something to inspire every young woman. We are 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. We offer over 50 extra-curricular activities, and enjoy 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.

Families are invited to attend Kilgraston’s first open day of the academic year on Saturday 30th September between 11am and 2pm. To register, please email admissions@kilgraston.com
