Durham Academy

Creating lifelong opportunities for every child

Welcome to Durham Academy’s website

In January 2023 we are delighted that Durham Academy has become part of the ALP family of schools. We are committed to establishing ourselves as an excellent school. In order to make this a reality we are focused on ensuring that students are fully supported, yet challenged to push themselves beyond what they think they are capable of. We pride ourselves on being a fully inclusive and truly comprehensive school built on traditional principles and high standards where ‘every child matters’.

We aim to prepare all in our care to leave the school fully equipped to meet the challenges they may face, and with a sense of service to their communities. We value our positive relations between staff and students and are proud of our friendly and purposeful atmosphere.
