A Word from the Head

Queen Victoria School is a co-educational boarding school which provides stable, uninterrupted and high quality education for the children of Scottish Service personnel or those who are serving or have served in Scotland. Set in 45 acres of beautiful Perthshire country, Queen Victoria School is easily accessible by road, rail or air.

Pupils may be registered for entry from the age of 7 but will normally be admitted to Primary 7 (ie 10.5/11 years). Applications must reach the School by 30 November, so that they may be considered for the Admissions Board which convenes in February. However, consideration will also be given, in particular circumstances, to applications made after these dates.

The School offers a wide and balanced curriculum following the Scottish educational system leading to Standard, Intermediate 2 and Higher Grades of the Scottish Certification of Education. Pupils also have the opportunity to study in a number of subjects for the Advanced Higher Examination. Increasingly pupils move on to Higher and Further Education but career links with the Services remain strong.

Pastoral care is given a very high priority along with careers guidance and personal and social education. The School aims to provide a stable 'home from home' environment in which pupils can participate in a full and energetic boarding life. Within this context Queen Victoria School is able to promote the welfare and happiness of each individual child and develop their self-esteem. In addition, there is a very full programme of sporting, cultural and spiritual development.

Queen Victoria School is a unique boarding School which seeks to achieve the best that is possible academically for its pupils. The School prides itself also on developing the pupil in the widest possible sense and aims to achieve success academically, in sport, music, drama and many other extra-curricular areas. A very special and unique dimension of Queen Victoria School is the ceremonial side which preserves the very best of the School's traditions.
