About Gordonstoun

Gordonstoun is sometimes described as a movement rather than a school and it is perhaps this sense of belonging, leading and doing something of real significance, that gives it a special distinctive character.

While the people and the atmosphere are the chief agents in the process, the elements of our unique ethos which set the tone for our way of life as well as providing a philosophy for living are:

• School History
• School Aims
• The Mission and the Motto
• The Four Pillars
• The School Charter
