Medical Centre
Durham School Medical Centre is open from 8.30 a.m. until 5.00 p.m. Monday to Friday during term time and staffed by two registered nurses who also hold a first- aid qualification.
We provide health advice, literature and help to facilitate health promotion within the School, researching up-to-date information and accessing resources for staff and pupils.
The nurses teach aspects of PHSE (Personal Health and Social Education) within the School.
We are also on the Health and Safety committee and liaise closely with parents, senior management and House staff to provide continuity of services and care for our pupils.
We provide a triage service for sports injuries for day and boarding pupils, liaise with external services for boarding pupils, issue off games slips, advise on health issues and provide pastoral support for pupils, parents and teachers.
Please feel free to ring us for advice if you have health concerns about your son or daughter or wish to share information that is relevant to their health and well-being on 0191 375 3293 (or 0191 386 4783, Extension 2262).

Testimonials
"Jon-Ross has attended Durham School since he was 11 years old. He really enjoys the school, both on the academic side and all the activities. He has gained confidence and a respect for himself and others. His academic achievement has improved in all areas, which has given him the confidence to reach for the sky. I can only say that Jon-Ross loves Durham school and enjoys it completely and when you enjoy something learning comes easy.
