Sherburn Hill Primary School is a small rural school to the east of Durham City. The school is housed in a spacious building which opened in 1972 to replace separate junior and infant schools.

The school provides a modern learning environment for its 90 children, who enjoy the benifits of being taught in four small classes. The ethos is one of a caring family, where children are valued as individuals, achievement is recognised and celebrated and positive values prevail. The school prides itself on the progress made by its pupils - this being recognised in our last Ofsted inspection, where inspectors commented that we are "a school where children make good progress".

As well as our mainstream teaching, we also provide a resource base facility for children with a hearing impairment. Twelve children with a hearing problem travel from different parts of Durham, Sunderland and Cleveland to be taught alongside our mainstream children by a team of specialist teachers and support assistants.

Levels of integration and inclusive education are high and the hearing children also benefit from the high levels of adult support available in school.

As well as our taught curriculum, we also provide out-of-school clubs for football, netball, and computing, as well as regular book fairs, open days and information sessions.

Sherburn Hill School provides a high quality learning environment for its pupils; high levels of technology, resources, text books and equipment, coupled with good teaching, bring the best out of our pupils.

Our modern classrooms with up-to-date furniture and fittings make it a great place to learn.
