With industry-standard facilities and subjects like motor vehicle, sport, construction, catering, and more, our supportive environment nurtures each student’s potential, fostering resilience and ambition.
Enrolment at Durham Gateway is handled exclusively through referrals from schools, academies, or local authorities. If you believe this specialist provision is suitable for your child, please contact your current school to discuss a referral.
