At Durham School we are committed to giving every pupil Confidence for Life. Pupils thrive at School and beyond because of the three strong pillars we provide: Academic Challenge, which creates a lifelong appetite for learning; Pastoral Care, which provides emotional, moral and spiritual strength; and Co-curricular Opportunities.

A thread of core values, known by the acronym MARK, is stitched through our heritage; Moral Integrity, Ambition, Responsibility and Kindness continue to underpin every aspect of School life. These values help shape our pupils’ lives so they can positively impact the lives of others.

The staff at Durham School know the pupils they teach very well; that is one of the significant strengths of the school. This, coupled with a sense of history, bond of community, friendships and becoming part of the ‘Old Dunelmians’ (a worldwide network of success) when you leave – all add up to the mark of a great education.
