Craigclowan Preparatory School is an independent day preparatory school for boys and girls aged 3 to 13 in Perth, Scotland.[1]

History

Craigclowan was established in 1952 by Richard W Noad.[2]:7 Noad was educated at Sedbergh School and the University of Oxford, graduating with an MA in Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE).[2]:12 He was formerly second master at Ardvreck in Crieff.[2]:12 The school opened on the 16 September 1952 with 36 pupils.[2]:4

In May 1955 Noad bought Craigclowan with its extensive grounds from Isabella McArthur.[2]:9 Following the death of Noad in 1965, the parents and staff agreed to form a company, to take over and run the school.[2]:9 The company, with six governors and a chairman, bought Craigclowan from the Noads in 1965.[2]:10 Craigclowan School Limited continues to expand facilities and buy land to the present day.[2]:10
