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.

Today marks the end of Mental Health Awareness Week. On Monday, Mrs Bambridge gave Dunottar pupils an assembly on understanding mental health.
The theme this year was Take Action. Mrs Bambridge highlighted that this is about the small, consistent things: getting enough sleep, taking a proper break, noticing when a friend seems quieter than usual and checking in on them. Seeking help early is a sign of self-awareness and strength.
Dunottar talks a lot about academic resilience and preparing pupils for the world beyond the school gates. None of that is possible without the foundations - how young people feel, how they think, how they treat themselves and each other when things get hard.
