In Years 7 and 8, dance is taught within PE in our purpose-built studios, with pupils able to choose dance as a creative option in Year 9. At A Level, the subject offers a rigorous and expressive pathway for those wishing to study dance in greater depth. Pupils have gone on to train at leading conservatoires, including Rambert School of Ballet and Contemporary Dance and Italia Conti.
Beyond the classroom, a wide range of clubs spans ballet, jazz, contemporary and hip hop. There are five audition-only dance companies for committed and talented pupils, offering professional-level rehearsals, choreographic projects and opportunities to perform and compete at the highest level.
We are saddened to hear the news of the closure of Durham High School.
We understand that this will be a worrying and uncertain time for pupils, their families and staff. If your family has been affected, and you would like to discuss options for your child’s education, our Admissions Team is here to provide advice and support, and to answer any questions you may have.
