Welcome

A very warm welcome to Aberdeen Grammar School.  First, a little background on our school and what we aim to achieve for all of our pupils.

Our shared vision of “working together, learning together, achieving together” drives all of our work.  This collegiate and inclusive culture makes the best use of our strongest asset - our school community.  We believe a school stands and falls by the opportunities it provides.  Everything we plan for and implement is based on this underlying commitment to our pupils.   As a result, our young people experience a positive learning environment and a wide range of opportunities, both within and outwith the classroom.  By the time our pupils leave school, they have a strong set of qualifications and a skillset to equip them for their next step, whether that be the workplace or further and higher education. Young people go on to a positive and sustained destination and take great pride in being an FP (Former Pupil) of Aberdeen Grammar School. Our school’s reputation for delivering high quality learning experiences, strong attainment and an outstanding wider school offer is reflected by the inordinately high number of placing requests for all year groups.

Our values of Ambition, Growth, Success underpin our vision.  Importantly, this translates to high expectations in the classroom.  Our pupils value learning and demonstrate a strong work ethic and commitment to succeed. They are driven by their desire to attain and achieve well.  Our values were written by them.  Similarly, our aims are defined in our Vision for Learning which links to our Positive Relationships Policy.  

Central to the values and aims is the importance of everyone supporting each other to learn and, as such, the learning environment is positive, and our young people behave well.  It is important to us that all our young people feel valued and that we intervene when they require additional support, thus ensuring equity of success.
