A Message from Durham Cathedral Schools Foundation
We understand that recent news may leave many families feeling uncertain about the future.
Choosing a school is one of the most important decisions a family makes, and when circumstances change unexpectedly, it can be unsettling for pupils and parents alike.
At Durham Cathedral Schools Foundation, we have welcomed girls and boys into our co-educational community for many years. We are committed to supporting any family seeking advice, information or simply a conversation about the options available to them.
Whether your child is in, EYFS, Year 5, preparing for GCSEs, or looking ahead to Sixth Form, our team is here to help.
Every family’s circumstances are different, and every conversation will be treated individually and confidentially.
