Learn more about our pastoral care, and how we support our pupils
Specialist teaching, high-level coaches and well-equipped facilities—including an indoor sports hall, fitness suite, astroturf, tennis courts, pavilion and extensive playing fields—ensure pupils receive expert guidance at every stage.
Games and co-curricular opportunities are structured to support all abilities. Pupils are placed in groups to maximise progression, skill development and enjoyment, whether preparing for House competitions or representing the School in local, regional and national fixtures. Strength and conditioning, health and wellbeing programmes and specialist training provide additional support for athletes aspiring to county, national or international success.
Every pupil is encouraged to participate, building teamwork, resilience and confidence. From weekly lessons to competitive fixtures and co-curricular clubs, Dame Allan’s offers a rich and varied sporting experience that reflects the School’s commitment to excellence, enjoyment and personal development in sport for all.
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.
