The national school caters for residential and day pupils, from nursery through to secondary, who are deaf or have significant speech and language difficulties.

Donaldson's School is one of seven grant-aided special schools in Scotland. The new building was financed by the sale of Donaldson's existing building and other fundraising activities.

In 2008-09 Donaldson's will receive £1,965,589 from Scottish Government towards recurrent costs.
