From the School
a full introduction to life using contemporary concepts and old-fashioned principles. A non-selective state boarding school, Gordon's School was established in 1885 at the behest of Queen Victoria and has since developed into one of the leading boarding schools in the UK. Situated in 50-acres of beautiful grounds with generous facilities, we seek to provide a world-class education that ensures all students learn how to be the best they can be. Officially listed as one of Britain's outstanding schools by Her Majesty's Chief Inspector, we recognise that a good education is not just about outstanding examination results but a thorough preparation for life; it is about providing opportunities and experiences for all young people to find their talents and interests, develop good character, become accomplished and achieve across a range of disciplines and ultimately develop the confidence to go and make their mark in the world. The students are who really evaluate Gordon's work, though. All who visit are struck by the friendliness, discipline and vibrancy throughout the school and by the family atmosphere, exemplified by the special rapport between staff and students. This is the result of a community that works hard to be kind, considerate, enthusiastic, and industrious despite hardship. As parents, we want nothing more than for our kids to live happy, healthy lives as adults and to positively impact the world around them. Nothing less is what Gordon's wants. We want Gordon's to be recognised as one of the finest schools in the world, not just for our achievements, but for the calibre of young people we develop and the difference they make to the lives of others.
