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.

The Science Department enjoyed its first Café Scientifique of the year, with Year 13 scientist Seb sharing his experience of visiting the Chemistry Department at Imperial College London.
Seb took part in Imperial College’s Global Summer School, where he explored the challenge: “How do you transition high school students from following a recipe in a lab to thinking like research pioneers?”
His presentation focused on the Belousov–Zhabotinsky Reaction, exploring how it differs from other chemical reactions. Seb impressed his audience with his knowledge and confidence, answering a wide range of engaging questions from everyone from Year 9 students and fellow Sixth Formers to the Headteacher.
A fantastic start to this year’s Café Scientifique term.
