Continued Scholarship Success in 2024!
We are excited to announce our most successful two years since the School was founded in 1928.
Year 6, consisting of 42 children received a total of 114 offers of Senior School places and 39 scholarships were awarded. Together with our record-breaking 61 scholarships in 2023, in the last two years, our pupils have been awarded 100 schorlarships between them, This is truly an outstanding number, particularly for a non-selective school. With places offered at 30 different independent schools and Grammars, Aberdour continues to stand out as an truly independent Prep school.
As an example of this year's success (and to select just a couple local senior schools), 19 pupils successfully secured entry to Dunottar School, with 2 scholarships being awarded between them. 8 pupils successfully secured places at Caterham School with 5 scholarships between them, including for The Larkin Academic Scholarship, The Houston Academic Scholarship, Academic, Sport and Innovation scholarships.
We also wish to highlight those children who gained Grammar School entry. Such places are always at a high premium and we are rightly proud of their achievements.
There has been much to celebrate over the last couple of years, with our Top Grades in all areas in our ISI Inspection (2023), opening of our brand-new Pre-Prep and the continued success of our pupils.
Well done to everyone!
