Durham Johnston is proud to be an 11-18 comprehensive school. We commit ourselves to sustaining an environment of academic excellence and respect for all of our learners. We have an outstanding track record of supporting post-16 students in making beyond expected progress in their academic studies, whilst also helping them in their personal development, so that they are informed and ready to make positive contributions to modern British society.

To all students starting Year 12 courses, we welcome you to the Sixth Form. We are delighted to be working with you for the next two important years as you enter adulthood and feel privileged to be supporting you as you realise your academic and career ambitions. We will provide you with excellent specialist teaching, pastoral support and opportunities beyond the classroom, to enable you to further develop as an informed, adaptable and capable learner. We ask that you work hard, listen to your teachers, ask when you’re unsure about anything and be a positive role model in our wider school community.

We look forward to working with you throughout this academic year and wish you the best of luck in all your pursuits.
