ISI Inspectors Exceptionally Positive About Dunottar

18th June 24

Earlier this term, Dunottar was inspected by the ISI (Independent Schools Inspectorate) as part of a routine cycle of visits. The inspection team was on site for three days, scrutinising all areas of our educational provision, policies, leadership and governance. The inspection was conducted under the new framework which was introduced in September 2023.  Rather than relying on one-word descriptors of performance, the new framework takes a pupil-centred approach, and a holistic view of what schools do.

Dunottar’s inspection could not have gone better. The ISI was really impressed with the school and the inspectors were exceptionally positive about Dunottar. A full copy of the ISI report is available here.

Thanks go to our parents for their continued support for the school and our highly committed and professional staff team who have worked so hard to inspire the pupils and to provide them with so many outstanding opportunities.
