The Friends of Durham School
The Friends of Durham School is a voluntary organisation whose main purpose is to bring parents together and to raise funds to provide equipment and facilities which will be of direct benefit to our`pupils.
They achieve this very successfully, principally by organising social events, the biggest of which is the annual Midsummer Ball, traditionally held on the evening of Speech Day, the final day of the Summer Term.
In recent years the Friends have provided a 65-seat Lecture Theatre, a Ceramics facility in the Art block and a new fitness and conditioning room that would be the envy of any private fitness club. They also provided all the equipment for the all-weather sports pitch (e.g. hockey nets and goalposts and tennis nets).
All parents of pupils at the Senior School are automatically members of the Friends. Members can choose to become as involved in the activities of the Friends as they wish. This can range from attending one of the social events to joining the committee or smply folding napkins and decorating the marquee for the Summer Ball.

Testimonials
"Congratulations on a superb evening at The Sage Gateshead. I have been involved in several House Music competitions but have never seen such a high standard as was achieved by your pupils. I also thought that the support your boys and girls gave each other was terrific."
Peter Craggs, Newcastle Prep School
