Prep

Pupils enjoying the Gordonstoun campus and learning outside

The 200 Acre Classroom


At Gordonstoun, we believe children learn about the world by being out in it. Learning in the natural world encourages curiosity and observation. It fires the imagination, focuses minds and fuels excitement.
 
Self-contained within the Gordonstoun campus, our Prep school benefits from the facilities of the Senior School, including ‘Ocean Spirit’, our 80ft sail training boat, a heated swimming pool, performing arts theatre, sports centre, science labs, design workshops and subject specialists.

Gordonstoun
Prep

Based on a 200-acre woodland campus, our Prep School offers the character education pioneered by Gordonstoun. Complementing academic learning with our uniquely broad curriculum, we prepare pupils aged 4-13 for a diverse and challenging world.

As one of the few remaining fully boarding schools in the UK, we have a dedicated team who care for the boarders and a carefully constructed programme of activities for them to enjoy outside school hours.

"There is more to us than we know. If we can be made to see it, perhaps for the rest of our lives we will be unwilling to settle for less."
Kurt Hahn, Founder of Gordonstoun
