Andy Rathborne - HeadmasterWelcome to Craigclowan! Our status as the leading co-educational day prep school in Scotland is one of which we are proud and the children and staff alike take pleasure from working hard to maintain the high standards we achieve academically, in the arts, musically and on the sports fields.

Most important, though, is that our pupils are happy and leave us as well-rounded individuals, ready to play their part as successful learners, confident individuals, effective contributors and responsible citizens in the modern, dynamic world. With them as they move on to leading senior schools they take plenty of friends and the key attributes in which we believe: tolerance, kindness, curiosity and enthusiasm.

Located on the south side of the Fair City of Perth, with stunning views over the Perthshire countryside, our modern, purpose-built facilities provide an idyllic setting for our children to make the most of their formative years.

I hope you will enjoy browsing our new website - I can thoroughly recommend the School Life pages which give an insight to all the fun the boys and girls have here both in and out of the classroom - and that it will encourage you to come and see for yourself what makes Craigclowan such a special learning environment.

I look forward to meeting you,


Andy Rathborne
