Kilgraston School in central Scotland announced on August 13 that it has closed with immediate effect. It means there is no longer a single Catholic boarding school north of the border with England.

The closure comes after a planned sale to save the Perthshire school, which was founded in 1930, suddenly fell through, reports the Daily Telegraph.

In a letter, the school said that the education provide Achieve Education had pulled out of the deal after it “reassessed its commitment to investing in the school”.
