Durham High School is an Independent Day School providing a lively, friendly and caring community for girls aged 3 - 18. We were one of the first schools in the North East of England to take girls' education seriously and we are proud to continue that tradition today; we seek to develop the potential of every girl in all areas of life. We encourage academic excellence and a lifelong love of learning, but we also place great value on personal development in creative arts, in sport, in community service and in leadership.
Values and vision
Durham High School was founded in 1884 and over 130 years later, we have evolved with the times to provide a top-class, modern and relevant education whilst remaining true to the Christian principles of our founders.
Our aims are:
- To create a friendly, caring community based on Christian principles where every individual is valued
- To develop the potential of every girl in all areas of her life
- To encourage academic excellence and a life-long love of learning
