A Message from Mr Martin George

Young people today must from time to time get frustrated at the bad press which their generation seems to attract on a seemingly daily basis. When I see our pupils I share the frustration, because we at Durham School see an entirely different picture - children from the ages of 3 to 18 thriving on all fronts; academic, social, physical, personal and moral.

For this to be possible we need to have first rate staff and facilities, underpinned by pervasive values of compassion, endeavour, aspiration and respect. For nearly 600 years Durham School has helped generations to take their place in the world equipped with the knowledge, skills, confidence and principles to succeed. This remains our aim.

I believe that as you browse through our website you will pick up something of the flavour of what Durham School is about, from the Badger Nursery right through to the Upper Sixth. But I hope that the website will leave you wanting to find out more and that is best done by visiting us, to see the school in action, to meet the pupils and staff, to find out why we consider the education we offer to be second to none.

We provide a developing blend of tradition and progress, of family values and a modern outlook, of balanced educational aims, of high standards and high expectations, of care and compassion.

Above all Durham School is a family and from your very first contact it is our intention to make you feel part of our community. Our pupils are happy pupils, that is why they succeed. We want our parents to be happy parents and to be part of the pupils' success. So please come and see us to discover why a Durham School education really is Confidence For Life.

Testimonials

"I would recommend Durham School Sixth Form to anyone as I I felt welcome from the day I joined and have greatly enjoyed my first year here. I've made a lot of good friends here and I feel that I have grown in confidence. The teachers are friendly and supportive and the House system is great. It's the perfect choice for anybody who wants to achieve good A-levels and have the chance to excel at music or sport. "
