Welcome to Durham School
Independent Co-educational School (Age 3-18)
These are exciting times for one of the oldest schools in the country, with a history dating back to the early fifteenth century.
We are now a 3-18 school offering a first-class co-educational independent education from Nursery all the way through to school-leaving age. From age 11-18 boarding (weekly, full or part-time) is an option for those who live some distance from the School or who simply don't want to spend time travelling to and from school during the week.
Our Preparatory School at Bow became co-educational in September 2006; pupil numbers at the Senior School are at a record high, with the rapid growth in the number of girls necessitating the creation of a second girls' House, officially opened in October 2006.
This website was designed and created by two of our former pupils, Graham Miller and Simon Crisp who run Edward Robertson, a prize-winning web design firm, based in Darlington. We hope that you enjoy visiting the site and that it will encourage you to come and pay us a personal visit, for only by doing so can you really get a feel for how exciting and fulfilling life is for all our girls and boys, whatever their age.
