Our Thriving School

THe LATeST uPDATeS To ouR FACiLiTieS

Many of you may not have had the chance to visit the school since CoviD. As a result, there may be a few new facilities you may not have been able to tour yet...here’s a quick introduction to the fantastic new additions to the school.

THe PeRFoRMinG ARTS CenTRe

in January 2021, we opened our £4.5million Performing Arts Centre. This state-of-the-art facility hosts a 500-seat theatre equipped with all the latest lighting and acoustic technology, large drama studio, along with multiple music classrooms and practice rooms. This fantastic new facility provides a unique performance space to motivate and inspire our pupils.

THE NEW COURTYARD GYM

With thanks to you!

it is with huge thanks to The Dunottar Society, that we were able to fund and build our first modern gym.

Opened in October 2021, the gym is located exactly where the school’s original gym was situated off the cobbled courtyard.

The Courtyard Gym, as it is now named, offers a complete cross section of cardio equipment, including running machines, upright bikes and rowers, plus a wide range of free weights, resistance equipment and machines. This facility has proven a real hit with both pupils and staff alike for lesson time and co-curricular activities.

THE NEW SIXTH fORM

CENTRE

In April 2019, our new Sixth Form Centre was completed.

This £2.2 million building provides a modern working space, giving pupils a taste of university life, with silent study and collaborative study areas, plus social spaces, including a patio, cafeteria and ‘rec room’ complete with pool table.

Energy efficient, with lots of natural light, an LED lighting system and environmentally considered heating system, the building was designed to integrate perfectly with the school’s Grade II listed buildings.
