Providence Learning Partnership (Trust) was established in November 2023, born out of a successful Business Case to establish and open the first Mathematics School in the North of England for 16-19 year olds as part of a multi-academy trust with Durham Sixth Form Centre (DSFC).
Durham Sixth Form Centre is a large ‘Outstanding’ 16-19 educational provider with approximately 1,800 students on roll, situated in the heart of Durham City centre. Students enrol at DSFC from generally over 60 different secondary schools from across County Durham, Sunderland and into Northumberland.
Durham Mathematics School (DMS) will be a specialist 16-19 provider for A level mathematicians who also have a keen interest in physics, computer science or chemistry. The Trust continues to work very closely with the Department for Education and Durham University in realising DMS and look forward to making further announcements about it in the coming months.
