Strathallan School is an independent boarding and day school in Scotland for boys and girls aged 9–18. The school has a 150-acre (61-hectare) campus at Forgandenny, a few miles south of Perth. It is sometimes referred to as a public school, although strictly speaking this only applies to the public schools covered by the , and is the term traditionally used in Scotland for state schools.
The school has 99 full-time staff, and 10 part-time staff. It has pupils as follows:
Strathallan School was established in 1913 by Harry Riley. It was originally located at Bridge of Allan. By 1919, the School had approximately 120 pupils. In 1920, the school moved to the current, more spacious buildings at Forgandenny.
The curriculum is largely based on the English system, with some elements of the Scottish system. Most pupils study for GCSEs, although some study for Standard Grades in one or two subjects. Then, in their last two years, in sixth form, they study for either A-levels or Scottish Highers. 95% of pupils go to university, including a number to Oxford University, Cambridge University, and University of St Andrews. 82% of this year's A level entries were graded A*/Bgrades.
The school offers the following courses to Lower and Upper Sixth Form students:
Pupils also participate in sport, drama, music, and other extracurricular activities. The school offers sports including rugby, cricket, field hockey, netball, football, athletics, squash, swimming, tennis, golf, badminton and skiing. Music also plays a vital role in the school, with many pupils playing in orchestras or ensembles such as a jazz band, pipe band or various choirs. A choral scholarship scheme is also available to pupils who wish to carry on their choral career, and gain scholarships to universities in the future. The school organises regular drama productions and a significant number of pupils achieve London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA) awards. Pupils can also gain degrees from the London College of Music and Trinity College of Music through the school. Other activities include Combined Cadet Force (CCF) and the Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme. Strathallan is also notable as the only school in Scotland with a Royal Marine cadet Troop.
