Our exciting GCSE programme builds on the foundations and passions developed in Years 7-9.
This is the first opportunity pupils have to really focus their academic interests in preparation for further, more specialised, study at A level and beyond.
At Durham School, we offer a wide variety of subjects with a curriculum that is structured to allow pupils to opt for either breadth or greater specialisation. GCSE subjects are taught by passionate, qualified subject specialists. Many with experience working in their field of specialism before moving into teaching!
Our pupils are encouraged to choose subjects they enjoy and are supported when selecting their choice GCSE subjects by their teachers, tutors, housemaster/housemistress and of course, their parents.
