True to the values and tradition on which it was founded over 250 years ago, Robert Gordon’s College offers choice and opportunity where specialist teaching from Primary 1 and interdisciplinary approaches to education prepare pupils for life, not just university.
Robert Gordon’s College is a school where the whole child is considered and education is not just an academic journey, but a journey of challenge and self-discovery. What distinguishes Robert Gordon’s College is the belief of the whole community that each pupil’s potential is limitless and the school helps them to discover themselves via choice from an unparalleled range of subjects and activities.
Gordon’s pupils are part of a global, digital literate community and benefit from international opportunities with partners to provide knowledge sharing and pupil exchanges.
ScientistsPlus, our Corporate Partner Programme, enables companies to support science education where pupils work with visiting scientists, technology advisors and industrial mentors on investigative work and research projects.
Pupils have access to Junior School 360-degree classrooms, The Craig Centre for Performing Arts, The Wood Foundation Centre for Science and Technology (The UK’s largest school teaching facility for Science and Technology and regional centre of excellence), onsite swimming pool, and 39-acre Countesswells Sports Fields.
Robert Gordon’s College offers the diversity of a big school, with the community and support of a small one. Pastoral care is ingrained in the Junior School. In Senior School the House system is linked to the strong pastoral structure involving Form and Guidance Teachers.
The school is a community with parent, teacher and pupil relationships at its core. Mrs Bellamy, a current parent at Robert Gordon’s College said: “It’s a real collaborative relationship between the school and parents. That’s the way education should be embraced.”
The impact of a Gordon’s education has been realised through the successes of many of Scotland’s entrepreneurs who have gone on to have successful careers, establish leading businesses and are now helping to inspire the next generation.
