A welcoming and supportive school environment
While some of the country’s other schools are increasing class sizes, Clevedon mother of three, Polly, appreciates the fact that Strathallan values individual care for every student. After attending an Open Day at Strathallan, the family were confident they’d found a solution, enrolling their son to start at the school. “I believe ACG Strathallan is really hitting its straps now. The Principal is working hard to build the sporting aspect of the school, and the facilities are fantastic. Some of these other schools are huge, and I think that is a real advantage of Strathallan – it’s smaller and not so overwhelming for a child. They’re not going to get lost here.”
We warmly invite you to visit us at our open day between 9am - 11am on Tuesday, 25 June.
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

It’s also a hit with Georgina's 13-year-old granddaughter, Brooklyn, who loves serving it warm with gooey custard or a scoop of melting vanilla ice cream.
