Cells Come to Life!

Year 7 have been getting creative with their biology prep, making their own models of cells to bring their learning to life.

A fantastic way to explore the different parts of a cell while putting their creativity to the test!

We’re celebrating some fantastic achievements in mathematics!

Eight of our girls achieved places in the top eight in the recent Maths Challenge for Girls, with each receiving an award for their fantastic performance. A brilliant achievement - well done!

Today, 54 of our senior mathematicians took part in the Senior Maths Challenge in Big School, putting their problem-solving skills to the test.

We look forward to sharing their results soon!

National Poetry Day.

Last week, we celebrated National Poetry Day, with this year’s theme of Wonder, inspired by the natural world.

To mark the occasion, we launched our School-Wide Nature Haiku Competition! Pupils from all year groups have taken part, creating haiku poems that capture a snapshot of nature in just three lines: 5 syllables, 7 syllables and 5 syllables.

We’ve been impressed by the creativity and imagination on display!

The winning haiku will be announced this week.

At Durham School, our Sixth Form classes are typically small, allowing pupils to contribute, question, debate and receive individual attention.

Regular academic monitoring, detailed feedback and one-to-one tutorials help pupils understand where they are, where they want to go and what they need to do to get there.

Whether a pupil has been at Durham for years or joins us for Sixth Form, our aim is the same: to know them as an individual and help them fulfil their potential.

Weekend Adventures.

Our boarders have the opportunity to enjoy a trip every weekend, with a varied programme of activities and destinations throughout the year.

Last weekend, Shizhe enjoyed a trip to Newcastle and captured some photos along the way to commemorate the day.

A great opportunity to explore, spend time together, and make memories beyond the School.
