Steeped in history, Durham School’s mission is to provide its students with a complete education; one which instills in them an aspiration for achievement, a respect for others and a confidence for life.
The pillars of Durham School which support this mission and so provide an environment where pupils can explore, make mistakes, learn and grow include.
Academic challenge which gives students a lifelong appetite for learning. Pastoral care to provide our students with emotional, moral and spiritual strength. Co-curricular opportunities which enrich and develop the individual, and foster leadership, collaboration and teamwork.
They do this by nurturing and supporting their students to become thinkers who can understand, research, evaluate and create, both collaboratively and independently. They implement this to ensure Durham Individuals are morally sound, emotionally resilient, reflective and effective communicators. This will result in adults who act with responsibility, humility and kindness and are ready to make a positive contribution to society.
