Our education from Nursery to Sixth Form allows for continuity of care and ease of transition between key stages. Juniors also enjoy access to Senior facilities such as tennis courts and laboratories.

With small classes, superb facilities and specialist teachers who are prepared to ‘go the extra-mile’ for their pupils, it’s no wonder that pupils succeed at Durham High School.

Excellent relationships are at the centre of all we do, with a caring, family ethos where all the pupils are known well to each other and by their teachers.

High expectations, both in and out of the classroom, ensure pupils leave Durham High School as well-rounded, independent and confident young adults, with top-flight academic qualifications.

Academic results are not everything: we take seriously our role in encouraging pupils to develop leadership skills, resilience and confidence.
