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.
