Mission Statement

At Queen Victoria School, we have a mission which lies at the very heart of the school ethos, and which underpins everything we do here. That mission is to provide stable, uninterrupted and high quality education for the children of Scottish Service personnel, or those who are serving or have served in Scotland. In doing so, we aim to produce well rounded, articulate and confident young people who are better equipped to face the world outside the School. We achieve this by training and developing all our employees to reach their full potential which in turn enhances our aims.

Queen Victoria School 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 countryside. Queen Victoria School is easily accessible by road, rail or air. Pupils may be registered for entry from the age of seven but our main intake is to Primary 7 in the Scottish system (equivalent to Year 7 in the English system), i.e. ten and a half to eleven 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 education system; and includes courses at Standard Grade, Intermediate 2 and Higher Grades of the Scottish Certificate of Education. Pupils also have the opportunity to study in a number of subjects for the Advanced Higher Examinations. 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 to develop their self-esteem. In addition, there is a 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.
