Register Your Child

When you are ready to take the next step, register your child with us by:

• Completing the online registration form
• Paying the £150 registration fee

You may register your child at any time prior to the registration deadline but encourage you to register by the Spring Term of Year 5 so that your child can attend our Taster Morning.

Register

Once your child is registered with us they will be invited to attend our Taster Morning in the January of Year 5. This event allows pupils to get a better feel for life at Dunottar, to meet some of our teachers, and get to know other children who will be sitting the entrance assessments.  During the morning, pupils take part in fun activity sessions.

Assessment Days

Our Year 7 assessments are designed for pupils to learn more about life at Dunottar and to enable us to begin to get to know your child and to help us assess their ability to fit into the Dunottar community.

Pupils will take part in our Warrior Learner Assessments, which involve a number of individual and group activities, allowing us to assess their creativity and how they work with other children.  No preparation for these activities is required. All pupils will also have a friendly, informal interview with a member of staff.

In addition, pupils will sit academic assessments in English, Mathematics and an online test covering: Verbal, Non-Verbal and numerical exercises.  In English and Mathematics the tests are based on the National Curriculum work that the pupils will have been doing in their current school.  No special tutoring is required beyond this.

As part of the admissions process, we will contact your child’s current school to request a confidential reference.

Key Dates

Candidates must be able to attend the Warrior Learner and Academic Assessment Day in person.

If you are unable to make these dates, you are welcome to apply in Year 6.
