Robert Gordon’s College provides a happy, supportive, and ambitious environment where every pupil is inspired to pursue what excites them. Everyone is valued, and every voice matters.
Discover why RGC is the place to be at their next Open Event on Friday, 21st November 2025 at 9.15am. Whether you are considering entry for Nursery, Junior, or Senior School in August 2026, or exploring a mid-year transition, the November Open Event is the perfect opportunity to experience school life at Robert Gordon's College during a typical day.
Jane Tulloch, head of junior school, says: “Our Nursery provides the very best start in a dynamic, inspiring environment, planting seeds for exciting futures. With specialist subject teaching we spark a love of learning and nurture curiosity both indoors and at our outdoor play areas.
"From P1, pupils dive into swimming at Schoolhill, and enjoy multi-sport activities at Countesswells. Committed to academic excellence and educating the whole child, we provide limitless opportunities to discover talents and grow into skilled, capable, and empowered learners, ready to thrive in Senior School.”
Clare Smith, head of senior school, shares: “Through a thoughtful, tailored transition, we support pupils beginning their senior education, helping them develop confidence and curiosity. From S3 to S6, timetables are designed around individual choices, ensuring all pupils have the space to explore what they love. Alongside a broad curriculum, personalised learning, and extensive co-curricular opportunities, our pupils excel academically, socially, and personally, preparing for whatever pathway they choose.”
Robin Macpherson, head of college, highlights: “Robert Gordon’s has been one of Aberdeen’s leading institutions for almost 300 years, bringing a unique sense of identity and a very strong community. Our alumni network spreads around the globe, and we can create opportunities for pupils that no other school can. We are academically very strong, and our pupils achieve incredible things because they are fully supported and able to explore so many different opportunities. They really can be anything they want to be.”
