Friends of DCSF Summer Ball 2025

The evening of Saturday 5 July saw over 160 guests gather to celebrate another wonderful year across Durham Cathedral Schools Foundation at the Friends of DCSF Summer Ball.
 
The convivial evening at which parents, Old Dunelmian and staff enjoyed delicious foods, fine wines and great company, was heralded as a tremendous success.  A live band and DJ got guests dancing into the wee small hours.
 
Decked out in blues and golds the ball room of the Radisson Blu Hotel looked resplendent as the School Song was sung heartily by all to draw the evening to a close. Floreat Dunelmia!
 
The event raised over £2,000 to support Friends of DCSF projects across the Foundation.
A message for families affected by the closure of Durham High School

We understand that this will be a difficult and uncertain time for many Durham High School pupils, families and staff as they consider the next steps for their education and future.

If your family has been affected and you would like to discuss the options available, our Admissions Team is here to offer guidance, answer your questions and provide support in a confidential and compassionate manner.

Whether you are seeking information about places, transition arrangements, transport, scholarships, bursaries or simply wish to talk through your circumstances, we would be pleased to help.
