  Durham School  
Durham School is one of the oldest schools in Britain and is committed to providing a first-class all-round education for all its boys and girls, regardless of background, gender, religion or culture, in a friendly and supportive community in which all pupils are able to develop their talents (both academic and non-academic) to the full. We believe that boys and girls who are encouraged to work hard, to play hard, to take advantage of all the School has to offer and to look after each other will be in a good position to face the next stage of their lives with quiet confidence.
