Prep School

Kilgraston Prep School is for girls between the ages of 5 and 13 years. Boarding is available for girls from age 8. There are opportunities for part boarding and flexi boarding which support busy families and provide peace of mind to parents. Our daily study club and school activities run mainly until 5.30pm but be assured pupils will be looked after this time should parents be running late or held up at work or so. Kilgraston Prep pupils fully benefit from Kilgraston’s boarding facilities and it also provides opportunity for girls both local, national and international to be together in a truly caring and exciting school environment.

The Prep School is located within The Grange, a stunning conversion of Kilgraston’s 18th Century farm courtyard. The stimulating and attractive classrooms surround a magnificent glass-covered atrium, an excellent enclosed area that is used for Assemblies, performances, concerts and a wet-day play area, indoor tennis, karate, the list is endless.

The School is renowned for successfully blending the caring, happy atmosphere of a family home with an environment which enables and encourages young children to develop to the very best of their individual abilities. Intellect, curiosity, personal endeavour, determination and achievement are fostered and well supported.

Emphasis is placed on learning skills which allow individual pupils to pursue their learning within and beyond the classroom. Our pupils are, at appropriate stages of their Prep School education, given responsibilities which can include House Captains, Sports Captains, Librarians, or for example joining the Pupil Council ‘Eco Committee’ or Food committee Committee.
