With high pupil numbers, Kilgraston is investing for the future. In recent years the school has undertaken an impressive development programme. New additions to the school include: a bistro style dining-room, a 150 seat theatre, major refurbishment of boarding accommodation, a new sports pavilion and a 25m indoor swimming pool complex. The school has also introduced hockey, tennis and swimming academies to further enhance the extensive range of extracurricular activities. Our latest developments are a new Science Centre and Sixth Form Centre, both completed in summer 2013.
The Mission

The School has traditionally attracted pupils from around the world with pupils coming from countries such as Mexico, Spain, Germany and China.
Kilgraston is guided by the principles of the Sacred Heart:
- Faith relevant in the world today

The Campus
The Senior School classrooms, including the bespoke music rooms and fully updated ICT facilities, sit alongside the elegant Georgian mansion, which is at the heart of the campus. High standard boarding accommodation, interconnected to the main building, is provided for pupils from the age of 8 to 18, with a separate boarding house for sixth form. There are residential staff in each boarding area.
The most recent Care Inspectorate report praised the excellent standard of the pastoral care -
an achievement staff and pupils are rightly proud of.
