About schools near Aberdeen
This page gathers the 60 nearest schools to the centre of Aberdeen, closest first. The closest is Cornhill School, less than a mile away in a straight line. Some sit under a neighbouring town or council area, because distance does not follow administrative boundaries.
Every school here is inspected by Education Scotland. Its inspectors evaluate a school against the How good is our school quality indicators, so follow any school for its inspection report and the pupil-census figures the Scottish Government publishes.
