Welcome to Aberdour

At Aberdour, we believe that every child who walks through our doors is unique. 

From the very earliest years, we help children find their brilliance and make the most of their time being truly absorbed in what excites them. Sparking curiosity and igniting a sense of wonder sits at the heart of everything we do.

We offer an immensely caring and nurturing environment, where children feel happy, secure and eager to learn. From Nursery through to Year 6, our approach is carefully tailored to the individual, allowing each child to thrive intellectually, physically and creatively, while being both supported and gently challenged.

Our children’s days are filled with smiles, laughter and discovery. We believe childhood should be the happiest time of life – a time when every child feels known, valued and confident to be themselves.

We also believe in giving children the space they need to grow. Set within 12 acres of beautiful parkland, Aberdour offers room to run, explore and imagine. Our broad curriculum and wide range of co-curricular activities allow every child to discover their passions, develop their talents and build confidence.

Central to everything we do is P.A.L® — our award-winning system for Personalised Achievement Learning. Each child is paired with a specialist tutor who tracks their progress and supports their development, ensuring a truly flexible and responsive educational journey.

Our results speak for themselves. Although we are proudly non-selective, our outcomes are exceptional. Aberdour pupils consistently secure places and scholarships at leading senior schools in the area. These schools know and trust us, and value the character, confidence and curiosity our children bring.

We warmly invite you to visit and see for yourself what makes Aberdour so special: a school where childhood is cherished, individuality is celebrated, and every child can thrive – a place where everyone is welcome and everyone feels at home.
