Durham School Sport and Activities
Each school day contains two afternoon sessions lasting approximately one hour each which are devoted to sporting and non-sporting activities. Some physical activity is compulsory for all pupils irrespective of age but the amount that is compulsory will depend to some degree on age and aptitude. Many pupils will enjoy one sporting activity and one non-sporting activity each afternoon.
Many drama and music rehearsals are also accommodated during this time and there is often some opportunity for pupils to complete some of their homework (especially the younger pupils). One afternoon per week is devoted to an activities programme from which pupils have to make a choice. Usually pupils commit for at least one term to their chosen activity before being able to switch to another activity.

Testimonials
"I have seen many changes in my three years to date but one thing definitely hasn’t changed - the politeness of people and the generally civility which amazed me when I first joined."
