the Robert Gordon’s community
From the
moment you arrive, the atmosphere at the open event is warm and welcoming.
Families begin with a guided pupil tour of the city centre facilities, seeing
first hand the places where pupils learn, play, create and grow. Along the way,
you will be able to speak with pupils and staff who can share more about how
Robert Gordon’s College supports every child’s journey from age 3 to 18. Pupils
are part of a community that believes in their potential, guiding them to be
confident, curious, and ready for their next steps.

visitors also gain insight into the broad and varied curriculum and vibrant
co-curricular programme that help pupils excel academically and beyond. Whether
it is languages, sciences, the arts or sport, there is a strong focus on
challenge, curiosity and personalised learning at every stage of a pupil’s
development. With timetables designed around individual pupil choices,
and all pupils securing their first-choice subjects, Robert Gordon’s College
ensures that pupils have the space to explore what they love, develop
confidence and curiosity, and realise that there is no limit to what they can
achieve, whatever their future pathway may be.
In addition
to classroom experiences, families can find out more about the outstanding
pastoral care, which ensures every child feels known, supported and encouraged.
Happy children learn better, and the College’s supportive environment, from
Nursery through Senior School, is at the heart of the Robert Gordon’s College
experience.
Talk to the team
A key part of the morning is meeting the people behind the education. Teachers, senior leaders, and admissions staff are on hand to answer questions about learning pathways, co-curricular opportunities, and the admissions process. Families can hear how each child is supported to be all they can be, from age 3 to 18, and have time to discuss practical next steps, whether considering entry for August 2026 or a mid-session transition during the current academic year.
Why attend?
Attending an open event allows you to really feel what life is like at Robert Gordon’s College. Families often leave with a strong sense of the warm community, high academic standards and the opportunities available for every child. One parent who attended a previous open day recalled feeling truly welcomed. They said, "From the first open day we attended, it felt like we were known and welcomed. The S6 student that took us around was amazing. She was knowledgeable, confident, and, more importantly, very interested in us as a family. She drew out my son with the right questions and brought him out of his shell. It was truly impressive."
