Parents like
- A good fit for families who want a lively Surrey senior school with energy, character and a less stiff feel than some local rivals.
Admissions
Admissions at Dunottar are friendly, guided and senior-school focused, with the school working hard to make families feel welcome while still being clear about expectations. The process is more relational than forbidding.
Scholarships
Dunottar offers scholarships at Year 7 and Year 12 and a limited number of means-tested bursaries from Year 7 entry, although it is clear that these are not full bursaries. The support offer is therefore real but measured.
Bursaries
Dunottar says it offers a limited number of means-tested bursaries. The school says these are awarded on entry from Year 7, reviewed annually and are not offered as full bursaries because parents are expected to make a contribution to the fees.
- The official bursary page says bursaries are awarded on entry from Year 7.
- The school says it does not offer full bursaries and expects parents to make a contribution to the fees.
- Parents seeking support complete a financial application and may be visited at home by the school’s assessment provider.
Inspection snapshot
The published messaging is clear and current, and the school's Warrior Learner language gives parents something specific to test when they visit. That is more useful than generic claims about rounded education.
