VIRTUAL TOUR

Admissions – Durham School (ages 12-18)

With a curriculum designed to stretch and inspire. Pupils enjoy a rich programme of trips, experiential learning, and an exceptional range of co-curricular and sporting opportunities. They also benefit from our House system, alongside specialist teaching and excellent facilities, all within a nurturing and supportive community.

Our age-appropriate entrance assessments ensure that each pupil can thrive academically and socially. This includes a short assessment, a meeting with a member of staff, and a reference from the pupil’s current school. Our focus is always on the whole child, their strengths, interests and potential, not just test scores.

We look for young people who will make the most of life here, contribute positively, and grow with confidence.
