Welcome to Richard Durning’s Endowed School.
We are a small school with a big heart, where children are known as individuals and supported to flourish academically, socially and emotionally. We pride ourselves on providing a calm, caring and inclusive environment where every child feels safe, valued and encouraged to achieve their best.
Our curriculum is ambitious and carefully designed to inspire curiosity, build confidence and develop resilience & independence.
We value strong partnerships with families and believe working together is key to every child’s success. We warmly encourage families to book a visit to see learning in action and experience our welcoming school community for themselves.

The school was built in 1692 with £100 left by Richard Durning in his will. For many years it catered for all age groups and was originally planned as a free Grammar School. It did not materialise in this way but became a Public Elementary School and was recognised as such in 1870, the year of the first Education Act.
