Durham High School
Independent School for Girls
in County Durham
Here at Durham High School we provide a lively, friendly and caring community for girls throughout their education from age 3 to 18. Durham High School is an Independent Church of England foundation dating back to 1884. Education is based firmly on Christian principles where every individual counts and our belief is that each girl will find the spiritual and moral resources she needs to cope with the demands of life in the 21st century.
Durham High School was one of the first schools in the Durham area 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. Our aim as an Independent School is to 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. An education for life.
