Strathallan Prep School
Strathallan Prep School is a small, close-knit community for boys and girls ages 5 to 13 years.

We ensure each child has a good grounding in core subjects such as Mathematics, English, Modern Languages and Science before moving on to further study. This gradual approach to specialist teaching allows pupils to make good progress in the many subjects they will pursue in senior school.
