The Wellbeing in Education Award

Published by Gordonstoun on Friday 14th of February 2025

We are very proud that Gordonstoun has won The Wellbeing in Education Award, where we were up against some inspiring opposition. Winning this award is testimony to the hardworking Gordonstoun community who uphold the highest standards of wellbeing in education.

Gordonstoun welcomes children aged 4-18 to our community and education inspectors recently noted that, “The comprehensive systems, policies and procedures to keep the school community safe are monitored rigorously by pastoral leaders and are a model of best practice; and result in sector-leading pastoral care which nurtures and supports each individual.”

The banning of mobile phones, food innovation, trained peer support, sustainability initiatives, feedback processes, wellbeing facilities, staff training and the recruitment of additional wellbeing staff, are some of the many ways in which Gordonstoun’s dynamic community have improved and ensured the wellbeing of all on campus.

In the curriculum, in the refectory, in the boarding houses and across the campus, Gordonstoun encourages open dialogue and is always striving to better their sector leading approach.
