BUTTERSTONE GRANGE AT KILGRASTON
A PREPARATORY SCHOOL FOR GIRLS
|
At
the start of this academic year Kilgraston Grange Junior School
merged with Butterstone School, Meigle, to form Butterstone Grange
at Kilgraston.
Butterstone
Grange is situated within Kilgrastons outstanding grounds
and facilities at Bridge of Earn, Perth. As a result of the merger
these facilities are being further upgraded.
Butterstone
Grange is an independent preparatory school for boarding and day
girls aged 5 13 and day boys up to the age of nine. The
school offers an education which prepares girls for entry to Kilgaston
and to schools throughout the UK via the Common Entrance examinations
at 13+. Drawing on the expertise and the spirit of Butterstone
School and Kilgraston Grange, the new school combines the academic
excellence demanded by the most sought after secondary schools
in Britain with the commitment to a child-centred education, which
is at the heart of the Scottish system.

"We are creating one of Britains
outstanding preparatory schools for girls. It will enable our
pupils to enter the very best senior schools in the country, including
Kilgraston. We will build on the tremendous achievements of the
two existing schools to provide an ethos of academic, artistic
and sporting excellence achieved within a friendly and inclusive
Christian community."
Chairman of Governors at Kilgraston, Mr Tim Hall
"In these challenging
times for independent boarding schools, Butterstone Grange will
provide both academic excellence and long term financial viability.
This merger offers continuity for pupils and parents. We are developing
a strong new school for the future."
Chairman of Governors at Butterstone, Mr Richard Taylor
