Why Military Families Choose Gordonstoun
Service at the Heart
Founded on Kurt Hahn’s principles, Gordonstoun puts service at the centre of school life. Through our uniformed Fire and Coastguard services and wider community work, students develop leadership, teamwork and a strong sense of responsibility - values that mirror the military ethos.
Challenge That Builds Character
Our broad co-curricular programme encourages students to stretch themselves physically, emotionally and intellectually. This focus on challenge builds confidence and resilience, supported by pastoral care recognised by inspectors as sector‑leading.
Compassionate Support Through Change
Service families often face relocations, deployment cycles and school transitions. Gordonstoun offers stability and personalised support, ensuring continuity and care during times of change.
"You have to pinch yourself walking around; it’s a beautiful place. But it's the people here and their passion for what they're doing that is quite remarkable."
- Jenni Montgomery
Perfectly Placed for Military Families
Close Ties With RAF Lossiemouth, Kinloss Barracks and the Local Military Community
Located in the heart of Moray, Gordonstoun benefits from strong links with nearby military bases. RAF Lossiemouth is just over a mile away, and Kinloss Barracks is a short drive from campus.
Families based locally, and those stationed overseas, value our full 7 days a week boarding programme, tight‑knit community and deep understanding of military life.
