- A non-selective state boarding school, Gordon’s School was established in 1885 at the behest of Queen Victoria and has since developed into one of the leading boarding schools in the UK. Situated in 50-acres of beautiful grounds with generous facilities, we seek to provide a world-class education that ensures all students learn how to be the best they can be. Officially listed as one of Britain’s outstanding schools by Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector, we recognize that a good education is not just about outstanding examination results but a thorough preparation for life it is about providing opportunities and experiences for all young people to find their talents and interests, develop good character, become accomplished and achieve across a range of disciplines and ultimately develop the confidence to go and make their mark in the world. However, the real judgment of Gordon is the students. All who visit are struck by the friendliness, discipline, and vibrancy throughout the school and by the family atmosphere, exemplified by the special rapport between staff and students. This is borne from a community that strives: to live with integrity, to be courteous, enthusiastic, and diligent, even in adversity.
