Dene is a Specialist School of Technology
and as such we specialise and excel in Maths, Science,
Information Technology and Design Technology.
The school is now the most improved school
in County Durham. We topped the League Tables in East Durham
in 2007-2008.
We are a successful, popular and improving
school, widely recognised as a centre of excellence and a
truly inclusive community school. We are proud of the
improvements to our results at both Key Stages, but also
ensure that all students’ needs are met.
The school encourages life long learning
and provides a clear path to further study, and helps
students develop their personal skills and qualities of
character.
We are justifiably proud of our close
partnership with local businesses, Primary school Partner
Schools andfive other secondary schools in the Federation of
East Durham schools.
We aim to play a key role in the
regeneration of east Peterlee and Horden through
collaboration and partnership
The school was inspected by Ofsted in
December 2007 and received a satisfactory report. The full
report can be accessed here.
Our successful bid to the National Lottery Board for £1.5m
to build a new School and Community Sports Hall on our site
is another indication of the local and national confidence
in our school.
The school is part of the County BSF
programme and work is currently underway to look at new
building designs.
