our school
Durham Federation is situated in Ushaw Moor. We are very fortunate to boast some of the best facilities in the area and have a large open site where staff and students have the space to learn safely.
Our site has revised operations due to covid-19 and below you can see a site map with current organisation which includes separate entrances, learning areas and student support for each year group.
At the bottom of this page you will see more in-depth information about each of our buildings.
