About

Educational Ethos

Every child deserves the best possible start as they begin their educational journey. At Durham International Nursery & Pre-Prep School, we deliver a creative curriculum guided by the UK’s Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework and English National Curriculum, drawing on a wide range of early years pedagogies and enhanced by the exciting learning opportunities available in Kenya.

The School is committed to delivering an education that is engaging, challenging, motivating and fun. Using a holistic approach to education, children learn through stimulating and creative experiences, both indoors and outdoors, ensuring that every child’s first experience of school is positive and so lays the foundation for all subsequent learning.

Children are taught the importance of values such as kindness, respect, responsibility and good manners and are given every encouragement to develop a love of lifelong learning and ‘Confidence for Life’.

Aims & Mission

Within a community shaped by moral integrity and kindness, Durham aims to cultivate responsibility and ambition to ensure that every child can thrive, be happy, and make a positive mark in the changing world.

The three pillars of a Durham School education which support this vision and so provide an environment where children can explore, make mistakes, learn and grow are:

  • Academic challenge which gives pupils a lifelong appetite for learning.
  • Pastoral care to provide our pupils with emotional, moral and spiritual strength.
  • Co-curricular opportunities which enrich and develop the individual, and foster leadership, collaboration and teamwork.
  • are Careers

It is ‘our people’ that make Durham International Nursery & Pre-Prep School so special. All our teachers are skilled and experienced Early Years practitioners, each with a passion for Durham School.

Current Vacancies
We are currently looking for qualified and experienced EYFS and Key Stage 1 Teachers and Teaching Assistants.

Online Application Process
You are invited to submit your application through our Online Application process.

Please download the Teacher Application form, complete it in full and email it together with a covering letter (max 2 pages) and your CV (optional – maximum 2 pages).

All pupils of a Durham School automatically become members of the Old Dunelmian (OD) Society upon leaving the School, currently with over 5,000 members.

The Society exists for the benefit of ODs, who undoubtedly make firm, lifelong and lasting friendships while at Durham School. What many ODs have found is having returned or attended a function after a gap (sometimes of many years), how good it is to be reacquainted with former teachers and old friends.

The excellent reputation that the School enjoys is in no small part due to how successful its alumni are. Durham School produces confident individuals who are well-rounded, intelligent, innovative, and effective in their chosen professional fields. For a glimpse of the breadth of careers pupils from Durham School have excelled in, please see our ‘Confidence for Life’ publication.

Our Mascots

The story behind the creation of our mascots is simple, but says a lot about Durham International.

Pupils at Durham School UK were challenged to come up with a design that showed its partnership with Durham International Nursery & Pre-Prep School in Nairobi. Whilst we received many excellent images from children of all ages, this delightful drawing from Charlotte Aiyenibe, a Year 10 student, was the favourite!

This competition illustrates the strong links between our two schools and demonstrates how Durham works to foster and promote the creativity of its pupils.

The mascots of Durham International Nursery & Pre-Prep School are a lion cub and an elephant calf, each holding a balloon (one with a Durham School crest and the other with a Durham International School crest).

Our mascots reflect the spirit of Kenya and the close ties between the Schools – referencing the lion within the School crest together with our first honorary enrollee, ‘Roho’, an orphan elephant calf rescued by the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust in Kenya and adopted by the School

The artwork has being recreated and is proudly displayed in the entrance foyer of Durham International Nursery & Pre-Prep School.
