Strathallan Celebrates 30 years of Girls

Strathallan School welcomed back the first girl at the School, to celebrate the 30th anniversary of girls at Strathallan and for the opening of the new girls’ boarding house, Glenbrae, earlier this week.

Margie Burnet Ward, now headmistress at Wycliffe College in Gloucestershire, made her first visit back to School in three decades to join other Strathallian Girls at a champagne reception in Glenbrae to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Strathallan turning co-educational. Glenbrae was completed on time for the beginning of this academic and reflects the increasing numbers wishing to come to the School. In fact, Strathallan has seen the largest increase in new pupils in all areas this year.

Strathallan achieved top A level results in 2009 with 49% at A and 95% A-C.

Pupils have represented the School in twenty three different sports producing eighteen national champions and twelve members of national squads. Six pupils have achieved national acclaim in music and the School hosts more than sixty concerts, plays, musicals and performances each year.
