Senior School

Polam Hall is a top independent school providing secondary education to girls and boys aged 11 to 16 where they are taught in separate classes using the Diamond model of education.

Situated on the edge of Darlington, Polam Hall serves Darlington, Durham, Barnard Castle, Richmond, Northallerton, Middlesbrough, Yarm and the Tees Valley in the North East of England.

A non-selective school, Polam Hall celebrates the unique talents of each pupil and the students are given every opportunity to achieve their potential and gain excellent GCSE results.

Classes are small and, with enthusiastic staff, every opportunity is given to each and every student to learn in a structured and caring environment.

The Diamond School is the fastest growing model of education in the UK. It provides the best of all worlds: all of the proven advantages of single-sex teaching, with all of the benefits of social integration where appropriate. Parents enjoy the convenience of a single location and our students enjoy shared activities whilst still allowing the girls to learn in their distinctive style.

High standards of behaviour, respect for self and others, and courtesy at all times are our unchanging values, as Polam Hall moves into an exciting twenty-first century Diamond future.
