Welcome to Framwellgate School Durham

Welcome to our school. We are a vibrant comprehensive school with strong ties to the local community here in the North East. We are first and foremost an inclusive community of students, families and staff working together to support the aspirations of the young people we serve. 

Our school is built around three core values. 

Excellence. We want every child to know and experience during their time here. This will allow our students to have a greater say in their own futures. It is the bedrock of all we do. 

The most for those that need the most. For some young people the journey towards excellence can be made harder due to circumstances far beyond their control. We are an inclusive school and recognise that it is our duty to give more help to those students who need it. 

Known and valued. Every child has the right to feel like they’re recognised as the individual they are and be celebrated for all that they can do. 

These core values are at the heart of our community and allow us to feel confident that every child here will have the opportunity to learn, to feel safe and to feel happy. When we achieve these things we believe every child will be able to reach their potential and discover their passions in life.

Our website only serves as a starting point for finding out about our school, our community and the education we offer. Please contact us if you would like to find out more or visit the school in person; nothing can replace meeting people in person to truly see and feel what our community is like.
