The School provides a boarding school education for the sons and daughters of both Scottish Servicemen and women and those who have served in Scotland. Set in 45 acres of beautiful Perthshire countryside, it is easily accessible by road, rail or air.
Pupils may be registered for entry from the age of 7 and will normally be admitted to Primary 7. Applications must reach the School by 31 December, so that they may be considered for Admissions Board which is held in February. However, consideration will also be given, in particular circumstances, to applications made after these dates and to entries at a later stage than P7.
The School offers a wide curriculum following the Scottish educational system and includes Standard Grade, Higher, SYS and SCOTVEC modules. The careers links with the Services are strong, but increasingly pupils move on to Higher and Further Education. Pastoral care is afforded a high priority along with careers guidance and personal and social education. In addition, there is a very full programme of sporting, cultural and spiritual development.
Queen Victoria School is a unique boarding school and, as such, looks to achieve the best that is possible academically for all its pupils. The School prides itself also on developing the pupil in the widest possible sense and aims to achieve success in extra-curricular activities, sport, music etc. It is this enrichment as well as pure academic success that the School seeks to achieve. As part of this enrichment the School has preserved the best of the traditional ceremonial side of the School which adds a unique dimension to Queen Victoria School.
