A very warm welcome to our newest little learners! We are delighted to welcome our new Pre-School children to our school community.
From first-day smiles and new friendships to curious minds, muddy hands and exciting discoveries, we can’t wait to see all the wonderful adventures that lie ahead.
Here’s to the beginning of a very special journey with us!

A massive welcome back to all our pupils on their first day of term today. An even bigger welcome to all our new joiners and our Pre-School who had their first settling in session today.
‘At our first assembly of the year, I spoke to the children about six qualities that I would particularly like us to work on this year. They are not complicated. Nor do they belong exclusively in school. Optimism. Hard work. Kindness. Critical thinking. Honesty. Integrity. Taken together, I think they say a great deal about the young people we hope Durston will send out into the world.’
We look forward to a fantastic Autumn Term!

Late in the academic year we received the fantastic news that one of our Year 8 pupils had been awarded the St Paul’s 13+ Art Scholarship, which is a brand new scholarship this year!
He worked continuously hard on his portfolio & interview, including still working hard when all the other boys had finished exams. This shows testament to all his work, and to our head of Art for the continuous support.
This was the most competitive Art Scholarship yet – over 60 boys applied, and only 7 boys were selected for the interview day. Nishant was one of two boys not already at St Paul’s to be interviewed and he flew the Durston flag! We look forward to following his journey at @stpaulsschoollondon!

The Year 8 pupils put their creativity and AI skills to the test by designing, branding and marketing their very own cryptocurrency. Working in teams, they developed a business plan, created eye-catching logos, and prepared persuasive presentations to pitch their coins to pupils in Years 3–7.
Armed with a pot of pretend cash, the younger pupils became investors, choosing which cryptocurrency to back based on each team’s presentation, branding and business strategy.
After all the votes (and investments!) were counted, Silly Coin emerged as the clear favourite, winning the overall competition.
A huge congratulations to Yusuf, Ivan, Loe, Jaiye and Louis on creating the winning cryptocurrency! Their teamwork, innovation and persuasive marketing made Silly Coin the investors’ top choice.

This week, our Year 8 boys proudly unveiled their science projects, celebrating the culmination of their STEM journey at Durston House. Pre-Prep and Junior School pupils were captivated by the interactive presentations and hands-on learning opportunities.
To finish the week, the boys headed back to Pre-Prep, where their own Durston House adventure began, to lead exciting activities in chromatography, egg parachutes, and friction ramps.
A week packed with discovery, leadership, and plenty of “wow” moments. Well done, boys, you absolutely smashed it! 🚀💥
