Activities

The aim of any successful school must be to develop the whole person as well as stretching them academically. For this reason sport has always been very important at Gordon’s. Work in the classroom will gain Gordon pupils' their first job, or place at University; but it is the character and self-discipline acquired on the games field, or in the school orchestra which will sustain them through life.

The extensive range of traditional team games, competitive and recreational activities which we provide for pupils forms a vital part of the Gordon’s curriculum.

Gordon's also places great emphasis on our outdoor pursuits programme encouraging pupils to participate in our extremely successful Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme, giving them the opportunity of visiting numerous countries worldwide.
