Durham
WELCOME TO DURHAM TRINITY SCHOOL AND SPORTS COLLEGE Welcome to Durham Trinity
School and Sports College. We are a generic special school educating pupils 2-19
years of age, with autism or profound, moderate, severe or complex learning
difficulties. Some pupils also have additional medical, physical, sensory,
linguistic or behavioural difficulties. All pupils at Durham Trinity School and
Sports College have an Education Health Care Plan (EHCP). Durham Trinity is a
relatively new purpose-built school, situated on the outskirts of Durham City
Centre. The pupils have access to specialist rooms and facilities such as ICT
suite, sensory room, hydrotherapy pool, and a design Technology room. We are
developing Outdoor Play and Learning (OPAL) areas; to allow them to access the
curriculum and thrive in their interests and strengths. From September 2019, the
school have introduced a 3-curriculum pathway to ensure the needs of the diverse
school population are met academically, emotionally and physically; whilst
providing challenge and support to ensure they are prepared for the next stage
in their development, towards adulthood. We are a Sports College, providing an
excellent provision that develops pupils’ physical skills and mental wellbeing,
educating them about leading a healthy lifestyle, whilst having fun! Pupils have
opportunities to access non-competitive and competitive sporting activities
throughout the school year. We provide a Further Education Unit (FEU- Post 16)
on site where the excellent provision continues until they are 19 years of age.
Our greatest resource is the staff. They are supportive and highly skilled in
SEND, supporting pupils throughout the school day to ensure they achieve their
goals and become as independent as possible. Together with pupils, families and
other agencies, we work together for the best outcomes for our pupils. For
parents/carers considering our school as a future option for their child you are
encouraged to contact school and make arrangements to visit us. We would be
delighted to meet you and answer any queries you may have. For existing
parents/carers, we hope the website gives you additional information about what
your child accesses. If you require a paper copy of any of the policies or
documents that are on our website, please contact the school office.
