Strathallan
Opportunities for all to excel
For more than a century, Strathallan School has stayed true to the vision of its founders by providing a rich variety of academic, sporting and extra-curricular activities so that every pupil has the opportunity to excel.
Set in 153 acres of magnificent rural Perthshire, yet easily accessible from elsewhere in Scotland, the school enjoys a wonderful balance of campus buildings, modern residential accommodation and exceptional outdoor facilities.
It's a beautiful location; lush, green countryside with an array of outdoor pursuits on the school's doorstep.
Top of the class
Academically, Strathallan engages children. Our teachers are committed professionals who are experts in their fields and our achievements at A-level speak for themselves. It's no surprise that many of our pupils move on to the best universities after their time at the school, with Oxford, Cambridge and Edinburgh popular destinations of choice.
In sport we have so much to offer
Our reputation for sport is excellent. From enthusiastic beginners to elite performers, we can help each individual to reach their potential. We take our sport seriously and offer an extensive programme. Many individual pupils and teams compete at national level. At the same time, individuals’ development as élite athletes is supported in school with the specialist training and dietary regimes that are the cornerstone of success in modern sport. We currently have 30 pupils representing Scotland in 15 sports, 4 pupils representing Great Britain and 54 Scottish, British and European Champions.
We believe the benefits of a healthy, active lifestyle extend into all areas of school life. We have the facilities too with numerous rugby and hockey pitches, tennis courts, cricket square and practice nets and our recently completed indoor multi-sport facility. It's a huge playground - and everyone is encouraged to use it to the full.
Music, drama and dance
In our junior house, Riley, almost all the children have individual tuition in a musical instrument. They keep playing on through the senior school too and our musicians perform over 60 concerts a year - including performing for the Royal Family at Crathie Kirk. We have pupils in 8 National Orchestras and Choirs, our choral scholarship programme is thriving and our Pipe Band performs at T in the Park, Scotland’s largest music festival.
Our new dance and drama studio adds to the fabulous facilities we already enjoy for the Expressive Arts. We offer a variety of dance genres including contemporary, highland dance, jazz and ballet and last year 36 pupils achieved LAMDA awards.
A caring community
Most importantly, Strathallan is a close, caring community. Catering for children aged 9 to 18, it's a school where effort is rewarded, where pupils feel valued and happy and where they are given the time and encouragement to grow into capable, confident young men and women ready for the challenges that their lives will bring.
