Based in the heart of the historic and inspiring city of Durham, Durham Cathedral Schools Foundation brings together six centuries of experience in nurturing our pupils. Chorister School (ages 3 to 11) and Durham School (ages 11 to 18) make up the Foundation.
Our mission is to provide pupils with a complete education; one which instils in them an aspiration for achievement, a respect for others and a confidence for life.
At Durham Cathedral Schools Foundation, we combine academic excellence with an extensive co-curricular offering.
Welcome to Durham Cathedral Schools Foundation
Located at the heart of this amazing and ancient city, Durham Cathedral Schools Foundation is an exciting and inspirational place of learning; it is a place of activity, of warmth, but more importantly of community.
With a thousand years of history and tradition, the Foundation draws on what is best from the past while equipping our pupils for tomorrow with a vibrant education. The pupils receive the best academic education they can so that they face the future with the greatest number of choices. They experience a rich range of opportunities which develop wide competence, supporting them to become confident young adults who respond with agility and lead in this ever-changing world.
At its heart, a Durham education is challengingly simple, and our ambition for every pupil is to be decent, to have clear values, and have the courage to stand by them: this is the MARK of a Durham education that will last a lifetime.
I am absolutely certain Durham will provide this education.
I am delighted that you have chosen to be here and look forward to meeting you.
