On Thursday evening, the Principal and Governors of Strathearn School were alerted by the PSNI to a suspicious device found in the grounds of the school. Following a controlled explosion by army technical officers, the device was declared to be a false alarm.
At the start of this first week of school closure and we hope that all of our pupils and their families are doing well. Please keep yourself and others safe by staying at home. Keep an eye on emails for important updates and advice. Thank you and take care.
The Strathearn School community joins with nations around the world in mourning the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. As a school dedicated to encouraging & empowering our girls to excel in all that they do, we reflect on the impeccable example she set through her life.
Congratulations to all those who attended Prize Night. What an enjoyable reflection on our year past with so many pupils contributing in so many ways. Thanks to our guest, past pupil, Mrs Katy Best, for presenting the prizes & sharing inspiring words.
