Learn more about our pastoral care, and how we support our pupils
At GCSE and A Level, history is a demanding and popular choice, highly regarded by universities for the intellectual discipline it develops. Pupils learn to construct well-supported arguments, interrogate evidence, recognise bias and form independent judgments — skills that translate into a wide range of careers.
Learning extends well beyond the classroom. Co-curricular opportunities include History Club, the Archivists’ Society and regular field trips across the North East, as well as visits to Northern France, Berlin and New York/Washington, allowing pupils to engage directly with the places and stories they study.
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.
