Kilgraston School, a Scottish Catholic boarding school, closed suddenly due to a £2M funding deficit.
Kilgraston School, a Catholic boarding school in Perthshire, Scotland, has closed suddenly due to financial difficulties. The school had faced a £2M funding deficit and planned to sell to Achieve Education, but the sale fell through after the provider reassessed its investment. Last year, parents raised over £1M to save the school, but it still faced a £860K shortfall for the upcoming academic year. The school's closure is the first to be announced as a result of proposed VAT changes for private schools. The leadership prioritizes the welfare of staff, pupils and parents, assisting them in transitioning to other schools.
