Welcome to Durham School
Independent Co-educational School (Age 3-18)
Confidence for Life at Durham School
One of the oldest schools in Britain, Durham School is situated in the heart of Durham City, set in its own beautiful and extensive grounds. The 3-18 school is fully co-educational and incorporates its own preparatory school (age 3-11) at Bow, home of the fabulous Badger Nursery and Early Years Department. It offers a high quality “total” education to all its 600 girls and boys who can be day pupils or, at the Senior School, boarders (part-time, weekly or full-time). The School has a particularly high reputation for music, sport and drama.
We believe that Confidence for Life absolutely sums up what we aim to achieve. I hope that your browse through our website will encourage you to come and pay us a personal visit in the near future, for only by doing so can you really get a good feel for what makes Durham School so special and see for yourself why we are so proud of our 600 years of history and confident about the history yet to be made. Floreat Dunelmia!
