Our
Schools
A Durham education is one that inspires, nurtures and encourages students through the provision of the finest quality teaching coupled with extensive opportunities to enable our students to achieve. Our excellent teachers encourage students to think creatively, to apply knowledge and skills successfully and imaginatively, and to constantly challenge themselves whilst building ‘Confidence for Life’ in a positive and supportive environment. While our schools are all different, at their heart they share the same values and desire for excellence.
The Durham Cathedral School Foundation’s mission is to provide its students with a complete education; one which instils in them an aspiration for achievement, a respect for others and a “Confidence for Life”.
With its reputation for excellence inside and outside the classroom, the Foundation is committed to educating its students in the very broadest sense of the word, preparing them for the challenges of the 21st century whilst retaining a sense of traditional values, which are timeless.
The Durham Cathedral School Foundation comprises the Cathedral School for ages 3 – 11 and Durham School for ages 11 – 18.
