On Saturday 5 July we celebrated the achievements of our Y13 pupils at the traditional Leavers’ Service in the splendid surrounds of Durham School Chapel.
Our Chaplain, Fr Simon, greeted the congregation and spoke passionately about the opportunities open to Old Dunelmians the world over.
Acting Principal Andrew Pearson presented the Y13s with their Old Dunelmian ties and badges, warmly shaking each pupil by the hand and wishing them luck for their future.
Development Director Andrew Beales welcomed the Class of 2025 into the world wide community of Old Dunelmians, quoting Will Todd ODs hymn – In this Place – written to celebrate the 600th anniversary of Durham School.
Guests then gathered for photographs looking out from Chapel Hill across the city, and the for drinks on the Playground.
