Kilgraston School

Kilgraston's educational performance places us as one of the very best schools in the United Kingdom, year after year. The education is world-class and learning takes pride of place. Individuality is encouraged to flourish and each person is empowered within the academic environment.

The school is part of the Sacred Heart Network. At the heart of the Kilgraston ethos is its focus on the concept of the whole person, through the five Sacred Heart goals: a living faith, personal growth, intellectual values, building community, and active social awareness.

The setting for the school is in the beautiful Perthshire countryside with its stunning scenery and wildlife. The school campus consists of 54 acres of parkland which provide a tranquil and gentle-paced environment, allowing the pupils both time and space to concentrate without distraction. Nearby towns and villages are easily accessible.

Yet, it is only a one-hour drive to reach Edinburgh, Scotland’s capital and Glasgow, Scotland’s largest city. Both offer a wide range of opportunity to experience the excitement of city life. Cultural trips to theatres, museums and art galleries are frequently arranged.

Kilgraston is a special place. A distinctive and remarkable, world-class boarding and day school, offering education for children aged 5 to 18. It's both exciting and challenging; building on the ambitions of both our pupils and their parents or guardians.

Visitors say we ‘feel different’. And we are. Our founding traditions as part of the Sacred Heart Network reinforce our values as does our Scottish education heritage. Trust, respect, integrity and responsibility lie at the heart of our community and underpin the academic achievements of each of our students.

Our ambition for each pupil is to stimulate and develop the individual character and personality. Our teaching is rich in resources, with highly effective use of Information Technology in the classroom, including the use of iPads for every pupil. Our teaching inspires and challenges our pupils to aim at the highest level, and enables them to attain it.

We believe there should be no limit on either personal or professional ambitions. Each pupil is encouraged to grow, learn and mature in an atmosphere of freedom and opportunity. Each is a key member of the ‘Kilgraston Family’.

Our pupils achieve all they are capable of. Each will leave Kilgraston with the potential to go on to take their place as a professional, academic or business leader of tomorrow; perhaps all three if that’s their choice.
