PLUS EST
EN VOUS

Gordonstoun’s motto – Plus Est En Vous  – there is more in you - asks students to discover more inside
themselves.

A unique programme of academic and practical discovery helps students reveal their full potential.

They leave school ready to face life with purpose and determination. They take with them a lifelong resilience, equipping them for the world beyond the campus.
