Strengths:

Strathallan School's sports is truly outstanding, possibly the best in breadth and consistency of any school in Scotland. Especially noteworthy are the rugby, football, tennis, hockey, skiing, netball, swimming, shooting (clay and small bore), fencing, golf (own course) and sailing.

We love the school's wonderful, eclectic art school - three floors of unfettered creativity that produces some truly inspiring work!

Strathallan School is a happy school with a great atmosphere! Teachers are enormously supportive; houseparents ensure that pupils are doing well and are happy.

Oh, and the food? Amazing!

Weaknesses:

None that we can think of. We are big fans!
