Gordonstoun Association

Being a pupil at Gordonstoun is an experience that stays with you forever.

The aim of the Gordonstoun Association (GA) is to promote and strengthen former pupils’ links with each other and the school. The GA holds events throughout the year and helps former students organise their own reunions. Our annual 'GA Day' is held at Gordonstoun each Spring and is a fantastic opportunity for OGs of all eras to meet up, mingle with old friends and make new ones. We can also help with work placements and work experience or continuing professional development.

We’ll keep in touch through regular email updates of events, gatherings and reunions in your area. So, don’t forget to tell us of any changes to your contact details including your email address.

Supporting OGs

The GA is aware that some OGs may have had unhappy experiences, or suffered abuse whilst at school. Gordonstoun is very sad and sorry for any abuse suffered by former students whilst at the school. We take all allegations of abuse seriously and will provide you with appropriate help and support to enable you to talk about your experiences, and report criminal matters to the police.

Visiting the School

Here at Gordonstoun we never close the door on former students and you’re always welcome to come back and visit us during term time. Feel free to bring your family too. You will be made to feel at home again and we will happily give you a tour of the school to bring back all those memories. Much will be familiar, but there have also been significant new developments. To arrange a visit please contact Emma Thorpe on ga@gordonstoun.org.uk or phone us on + 44 (0) 1343 837 922.
