About the School

Strathallan School is a leading co-educational boarding and day school with an outstanding reputation academically in sports and the arts. Pupils are divided between Strathallan Prep School and Strathallan Senior School. There are three senior Girls' Houses, four senior Boys' Houses, and a junior boarding house.

The School is situated in the beautiful Earn Valley as a self-contained wooded estate of 153 acres on the edge of the village of Forgandenny. Perth is the nearest town, some ten minutes away by car and access to the motorways puts Edinburgh (45 mins), Glasgow (1 hr) and the Scottish Highlands within easy reach.

The School is well-resourced with a mixture of traditional and modern buildings. The Main Building, a Grade B listing, was once a large private mansion, bought by the School's founder, Harry Riley, in 1920 when he moved the School from its original 1913 location in Bridge of Allan.

The School exists to provide inclusive all-around education for its pupils in a nurturing and caring environment. Our aim is to engage pupils to be their best and prepare them for the demands of further study and future work in an increasingly diverse and global university and employment market. We do this through opportunities that inspire and challenge and expect effort and hard work from each pupil in achieving their best, based on values of respect, kindness, honesty, hard work, humility, and excellence, all underpinned by the fundamental value of love.
