Durham County Council schools

All 279 schools in the County Durham area, from the school census. 123 are maintained by Durham County Council and follow its 2026/27 term dates; the rest set their own. Most follow the council anyway, but check with the school before booking anything. The council’s breaks on their own: County Durham school holidays.

Maintained by the council, so the council's term dates are these schools' term dates. Each still sets its own INSET days.
