• INTERACTIVE MAP

Welcome to Dunottar School

Located in 15 acres of beautiful woodland and grounds, with a stunning Palladian Mansion at its centre, Dunottar is a co-educational day school with high standards and a caring ethos on the outskirts of Reigate, Surrey. Pastoral care is at the heart of everything we do.

Our aim at Dunottar is to bring out the best in every pupil, enabling them to be the very best they can be. By spending time with each individual pupil, we aim to ensure that everyone, regardless of ability, is able to achieve excellent “added value” in their academic work. We pride ourselves on our warm and nurturing, family environment, where pupils are supported and encouraged to succeed both academically and outside the classroom. We offer a broad and exciting co-curricular programme, with extensive opportunities for pupils to try something new, broadening their interests and rising to new challenges.

At Dunottar, we want our pupils to be ready for the challenges of life after school. We believe that for children to achieve spectacular outcomes, they need to embrace our Warrior Learner behaviours of aspiration, creativity, curiosity, tenacity, independence, inclusivity and collaboration. Pupils are encouraged to demonstrate these behaviours across all areas of school life, in lessons, co-curricular activities and sport, developing essential skills to allow them to achieve more than they ever thought possible.

Parents rave about the warm and nurturing atmosphere at Dunottar, which is something of a secret Surrey star, set in a Palladian-style mansion in 15 beautiful acres just outside Reigate town centre. According to one mother, the pastoral care at this co-ed (it was all-girls until 2014) is ‘second to none’, with a very strong community ethos and great value placed on knowing every child as an individual and developing their character. ‘The personal attention you get as a parent is outstanding too,’ adds another mother. ‘An email is replied to the same day and often followed up with a phone call to discuss any issue with real insight into your child.’ Dunottar’s ideal pupil is ‘a creative and courageous thinker who challenges convention’ and suits the school’s strong focus on ‘Warrior Learning’, which champions creativity, tenacity and independence – although not at the expense of collaboration. It’s no surprise that it’s attracting increasing attention, especially with a new £4.5m assembly hall-cum-performing arts building under way, featuring music and drama spaces and a 500-seat auditorium. The school takes in a wide range of pupils with differing abilities and each is encouraged to do their best academically – a very respectable 41 per cent gained A*–B grades at A-level in 2019. A vast array of sport is offered at both elite and participatory levels, including water polo, Scuba diving and handball alongside traditional options. ‘I really like the fact that there are so many opportunities to learn different things, in addition to core subjects,’ says one happy pupil. Their only complaint? ‘I’d like to start a bit later, but I think all children would say the same!’

Dear Fellow Travellers

We're thinking of visiting Suzdal on a one-day trip from Moscow this mid-August. We did our homework, and found the best way is to go to Vladimir by train and take a bus to Suzdal. We also checked the fare/timetable with Russian National Railway's official website ( http://pass.rzd.ru ) , then started wondering whether it is worth to book trains in advance. Yes, it's a busy season and we feel safe, but none in our group speaks Russian, and if something happens, we cannot catch the train we booked, all the money will be wasted. So, would we be better off not to book any train and go with the 'suburban' train that does not take booking (incidentally RZD site does not tell us how much it costs - maybe because it is a different operator and we cannot buy the ticket on their site?) Or would you recommend booking trains in advance?

Also, we've been trying to find a bus timetable between Vladimir and Suzdal, but so far we couldn't.

Could anybody help?

Thanks in advance, Ken.

There are not many suburban trains to Vladimir, and they are usually packed, as any suburban trains to other regions. You trip is going to be very uncomfortable (I know, I've tried if once 'cause experss tickets were sold out). Suggestion: for trip to Vladimir, book a # 7082 train: https://rasp.yandex.ru/thread/7082_0_2000001_g19_4 (or a # 728 train if tickets are not too expensive). For return trip, maybe train # 709.

> RZD site does not tell us how much it costs - maybe because it is a different operator

:))) There is no 'other operator'. RR site just does not sell commuter train tickets.

> bus timetable between Vladimir and Suzdal

https://rasp.yandex.ru/all-transport/vladimir--suzdal . In short , every 30 minutes.

And the last: if possible, allocate 2 days to Suzdal and Vladimir.

The train you can book on rzd.ru, fast train to Nozhniy Novgorod via Vladimir is nice, comfortable and surely needs to be booked in advance. You can leave early in the morning, and reach Vladimir in under 2 hrs; as opposed to 3+ hrs by a suburban train. It costs like R350-400, (do not remember easily), but fast train is wirth effort.

As for getting the train - station has signs in English, board is in English and even these trains are annonced in English. You can visit the station the day before for orientation... Many people have done that before.

As for going to Suzdal from Vladimir, tgere are plenty of buses, right from train station sq. in Vladimir, but taxi would be faster and easier, esp.for several people, just use Yandex/Gett app.

Thanks a lot, Dmitri and Vasily! You guys are really great - we will definitely book fast trains. One thing which is not urgent - is it cheaper to buy return tickets from Moscow to Vladimir, or the two single/one-way tickets are the same price? In Britain, they are completely different: returns are often cheaper but sometimes two singles are cheaper - very confusing. We hope Russian system is more straightforward. Thanks again, Ken.

You can buy a return ticket only for suburban trains, and it will cost as 2 one-way tickets anyway. For everything else, you just buy 2 singles one by one - simple as it can be :).

Thanks a lot, Dmitri. Glad to know Russian rail system is not so complicated. Cheers, Ken.

And some more thoughts on the matter :).

1. If you don't feel confident, arrive at the station somewhat earlier, like 30 minutes in advance (not 10 like I did). I know half an hour is a bit overkill... just for the peace of mind :).

2. Vladimir trains depart from the Gorky direction dead end platforms (highlited here: http://yandex.ru/maps/213/moscow/?ll=37.662677%2C55.755958&mode=poi&poi%5Bpoint%5D=37.661626%2C55.756222&poi%5Buri%5D=ymapsbm1%3A%2F%2Forg%3Foid%3D188728336151&z=18 ). Do not enter main building, you don't need it.

3. I tend to agree with Vasili's advice about taxi. Suzdal bus staiton is on the outskirts of the town, you'll have either walk to the center (as I did - but I had 2 days instead of one) or wait for the local bus. Taxi will take you straight to the town centre.

I specify that high-speed trains to Vladimir leave from the first high platform. It is in the opposite part of the Kursk railway station than dead-end platforms. Common local trains to Vladimir depart from dead-end platforms.

Thanks everyone. I'm sure we'll have a super time in Suzdal. Cheers, Ken
