Warrior Learning

At Dunottar we enable our pupils to achieve spectacular outcomes by encouraging them to exhibit the seven behaviours of 'warrior learners'; aspiration, creativity, tenacity, independence, curiosity, collaboration and inclusivity, preparing them for the fast paced and ever changing world we live in.

🔬 Science in Action This Week!

Our students have been busy exploring the wonders of science across all key stages.

KS3 had a fantastic time getting hands-on with chicken leg dissections, investigating how muscles, tendons, and joints work together. Another class brought magnetic fields to life by using iron filings to reveal magnetic field lines - a brilliant visual way to understand invisible forces.

Meanwhile, KS5 chemists dove deeper into analytical chemistry, using titration curves to explore how pH changes when bases are added to different acids. A great opportunity to apply theory, sharpen practical skills, and think critically about chemical behaviour.

A week full of curiosity, discovery, and excellent science!
