Welcome from the Headteacher

Academic achievement in a family environment

---

 

Set in 54 acres of parkland at Bridge of Earn in beautiful, rural, Perthshire, Kilgraston School is a forward thinking and dynamic day and boarding school. It has an extensive history and maintains strong traditions, whilst not being afraid of change, innovation or of risk taking. This message is clearly embraced by our pupils. We offer a caring, supportive and nurturing environment, starting in our Junior School. Believing in one’s self, building an individual’s self-esteem and confidence is something that is encouraged in all aspects of the school.  We have close links with Sacred Heart Schools throughout the world, which encourages a respectful community that focuses on mutual virtues and goals.

We follow the superb Scottish Examination system of National 4 and 5, Highers and Advanced Highers; renowned for giving pupils flexibility and breadth to flourish and grow across a range of disciplines so pupils can, concurrently, study art and science subjects. Our senior pupils continually enjoy success at leading national and international universities, with 96% of students being accepted for their first choice universities in 2021.

Strong individual academic achievement is at the heart of Kilgraston but our education does not stop in the classroom. We offer our pupils an extensive extra-curricular programme including a thriving equestrian centre, multiple sport programme and many outdoor pursuits. We pride ourselves on our pastoral care, having dedicated and talented staff who know pupils as individuals.

Developing a community of strong role models is an integral element of the Kilgraston ethos. We pride ourselves on knowing the pupil; here you are more than just a name, here you are part of a family.

My door is always open. Please come and see for yourself.

I look forward to meeting you.
