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.
Founded in 1926, Dunottar School is an independent day school for girls and boys aged 11 to 18. Dunottar is a school with high standards and a warm heart, providing an excellent, all-round education. Through excellent teaching and outstanding pastoral care, we bring out the best in every pupil, enabling them to be the very best they can be. In our vibrant, welcoming community, where everyone is known and valued, pupils are challenged and supported to achieve more than they believe possible.
Pupils flourish in this nurturing environment and challenge themselves to be the best they can be.

Congratulations to our Year 11 class of 2026! 🌟
We’re incredibly proud to celebrate an outstanding set of GCSE results as Dunottar’s centenary year comes to a close.
Our Year 11 pupils achieved 52% of grades at 9–7, with 12% at grade 9, the highest grade available. Among many individual successes, Max gained nine grade 9s. Pupils achieved well beyond their starting points, and this value added is substantial and among the strongest the school has ever recorded.
These pupils have spent their Year 11 in Dunottar’s centenary year, and they take from it more than a set of qualifications. They take the curiosity, tenacity and independence that the next stage will ask of them, and the experience of being known and challenged as individuals, which has defined this school for a century.
Congratulations to every pupil! 🌟
A brilliant way to end our centenary year!
