Donaldson's is Scotland's national school for pupils who are deaf or have communication difficulties.
"Donaldson's is a centre of excellence where children are brought to life"
Parent comment, Care Commission Report 2009
As a widely recognised centre of excellence in communications, Donaldson's is award-winning and highly commended in a range of areas. Our pupils benefit from fabulous facilities, exceptional assessment and an inter disciplinary approach which contributes to our vibrant school community with parents as partners.
By catering for children from birth up to 18, working with them through their academic life and helping them with transition to the workplace or into further education, we can take a very personal and holistic approach to the welfare and wellbeing of all of our pupils.
Recent inspection reports reflect Donaldson's dedication and how this benefits our pupils and their families. We have also won many awards including many for our healthy eating initiatives provided by our resident chef and his team.
The school and its grounds provide a seamless environment for learning and teaching, and pastoral care, with a wireless enabled outdoor classroom and a new sensory garden. The quality of provision is without parallel.
