Admissions
Want the very best for your daughter? Look no further than Durham High School. We are proud that we were one of the first schools in the North East to take girls’ education seriously and together, it’s time to change the world again.
Durham High School was judged as ‘Excellent’ across all areas, the highest possible grading, by the latest inspection carried out by the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI). The report highlighted our pupils’ ‘excellent’ progress and achievement, their ‘outstanding’ attitudes to learning and their ‘strong moral awareness’.
Nurturing and developing girls is at the forefront of everything we do, and while there are standard entry points to the school, your daughter is welcome to join us at any stage from age 3-18. With up to 30 free hours weekly until her 5th birthday, why would you want to go anywhere else?
We have been a school for girls since 1884 and we need young women, who are going to make things happen, to continue that tradition today. Register your interest now and a member of our Admissions team will be in touch.
