Goodbye & Good Luck

CElEBRATING SUCCESS

GOODBYE &

GOOD lUCk!

After five years of hard work and a series of Year 11 mock exams, our Year 11 cohort were able to sit their GCSE exams in May and June of 2022. And what a fantastic job they did, 12 percent of all grades attained were grade 9 and 50 percent the top grades 9-7. This is especially impressive as our students comprise a range of academic abilities. Headmaster, Mr Mark Tottman, said: “I am delighted with this outstanding set of GCSE results and our positive value-added scores demonstrate that students studying at Dunottar are likely to achieve better exam results than if they had studied the same course elsewhere. Despite the uncertainty of the last two years, students have displayed true Warrior Learner characteristics to navigate these challenges. These results are testament to their commitment to learning, resilience and positivity, the belief and dedication of our teaching staff and the support of the Dunottar community. I am incredibly proud of Dunottar students for their individual achievements. They have not only enjoyed academic success but have triumphed in sport, are talented musicians and performers and enthusiastic participants in the school’s extensive co-curricular programme. Equipped with a strong set of values and self-belief, these young adults are role models and leaders. I look forward to welcoming them, along with our new Sixth Form joiners, to the next stage of their education.”

Students at Dunottar School celebrated outstanding A-level results, in which 44 percent of the grades attained were A*/A and 18 percent the top A* grade.

Our 2022 leavers secured places at leading universities, with 90 percent gaining their firstchoice university in a range of courses, including Economics, Psychology, Liberal Arts, Politics & Sociology, Engineering and Arts.

Since Mr Mark Tottman took over the helm, with his vision for creating a collaborative and dynamic learning environment with state-of-the-art facilities, an impressive IT infrastructure and a holistic view of success, Dunottar has become a thriving co-educational school with students joining from over 40 schools. The Good School’s Guide recently referred to Dunottar as “a small school with a big heart”. Students are at the heart of everything we do in our friendly, caring and creative community. We believe our students are capable of great things and look forward to celebrating their continued success as they leave knowing that with the education, skills and values learnt at Dunottar, their possibilities are endless.
