What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:
Our prime purpose is to advance education. As a 3-18 independent day school charity our purpose is to offer, sustain, and constantly improve an accessible and affordable high-quality curricular and co-curricular education to all the children of Aberdeen and the wider North East of Scotland. We then seek to deliver this educational experience to our enrolled pupils. To support this purpose, in line with the philanthropic ethos of our founder, Robert Gordon, and our commitment to public benefit, we provide tuition fee support bursaries, to give an opportunity for as many children as possible to access a Gordon’s education who might otherwise not be able to afford the fees. We look to deliver our prime purpose in line with our published core values. In terms of community, we seek to both foster a vibrant alumni community across the globe, and be active and collaborative contributors to the Aberdeen community, both economically and through philanthropy and direct engagement.

From 09 March 2026, OSCR is required by law to publish the names of a charity’s trustees as part of its Scottish Charity Register entry. We are also required to publish each charity’s annual report and accounts as received from this date, which may include the names of certain individuals. The only exceptions to publication are where a charity or one of its charity trustees applies for this information to be excluded, and OSCR is satisfied that publishing it would jeopardise the safety or security of a person or premises.

If the charity trustee information on a Register entry appears blank, this may mean that an exemption applies or that the charity has not yet provided the required details to OSCR. Supplying this information will become mandatory as part of future annual submissions.
Copyright

From 30 June 2025, OSCR began collecting charity trustee information through OSCR Online. Providing this information is a legal requirement for all charities. The names of trustees will be published on the Scottish Charity Register from early 2026 to promote transparency and strengthen public trust in the sector.

Charity accounts and constitution – what information do we publish?

The Scottish Charity Register contains key information about a charity’s operations and finances. This includes:

These changes are designed to improve transparency across the charity sector in Scotland.
