Warrior Learning

At Dunottar we enable our pupils to achieve spectacular outcomes by encouraging them to exhibit the seven behaviours of 'warrior learners'; aspiration, creativity, tenacity, independence, curiosity, collaboration and inclusivity, preparing them for the fast paced and ever changing world we live in.

We were delighted to welcome back former student, Tallulah Wilkinson, who spoke to our Year 7 and 8 pupils about how Warrior Learning has helped to shape her journey to the very top of competitive ballroom dancing.

Tallulah has lived and breathed ballroom for as long as she can remember - dedicating countless hours to perfecting the grace, strength and precision that the sport demands. Her message to pupils was powerful: growth comes through tenacity, creativity and embracing challenge.

We are incredibly proud of everything she has achieved with her partner, Kirill Novikov, including:

🏆 Under 19 WDC World Champions
🏆 Under 19 WDO European Champions
🏆 Under 19 International Champions
🏆 Under 19 UK Open Champions
🏆 Under 21 WDC World Champions
🏆 Under 21 WDO European Champions.

Tallulah left pupils feeling inspired, motivated and ready to put their Warrior Learning into action!
