Chorister School Welcome
Chorister School is an environment where every child is encouraged to be ambitious in their learning, emotionally resilient and respectful of others as individuals. Rich and diverse opportunities provide an education with character, where children learn, grow and feel confident in themselves. We benefit from an exceptional community of happy and engaged children, dedicated staff and supportive parents, all of whom contribute to the strong sense of belonging that is key to our success.
A tailored academic programme ensures high standards are achieved across the School, and we encourage all children to strive to fulfil their potential. Pupils’ progress is closely monitored as they move through the School, allowing us to support, stretch and challenge each child as an individual. Our co-curricular programme is an important part of who we are and, through a wide range of clubs, workshops and educational visits, we introduce children to valuable experiences that take their learning beyond the classroom. These opportunities allow children to develop important personal, social and emotional skills.
Our unofficial motto, ‘Confidence for Life. Respect for All’, coupled with our strong core values, MARK (Moral Integrity, Ambition, Responsibility, Kindness), reflects our respect for the traditions of independent preparatory education while embracing the need to be a forward-thinking School. Here, and throughout Durham Cathedral Schools Foundation, we aim to help children become well-rounded individuals who are prepared for life at every stage of their journey.
