History
Craigclowan was established in 1952 by Richard W Noad. Noad was educated at Sedbergh School and the University of Oxford, graduating with an MA in Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE). He was formerly second master at Ardvreck in Crieff. The school opened on the 16 September 1952 with 36 pupils.
In May 1955 Noad bought Craigclowan with its extensive grounds from Isabella McArthur. Following the death of Noad in 1965, the parents and staff agreed to form a company, to take over and run the school. The company, with six governors and a chairman, bought Craigclowan from the Noads in 1965. Craigclowan School Limited continues to expand facilities and buy land to the present day.
