Durham Sixth Form Centre, located in Durham city centre, is one of the four largest post-16 schools in the country. It offers places for around 1,300 students from over 50 different secondary schools across County Durham, Sunderland and into Northumberland.   

Durham Sixth Form Centre was built in 1913 as a girls’ grammar school and converted into a sixth form in 1983. The original school building has been significantly added to and now includes a science block, 210-seat theatre, plus three centres for resources, visual arts and leisure. Plans to further extend the school are ongoing.
