Welcome to the only Independent School in Sunderland with Six Top Inspection Grades

At Sunderland High School we are committed to bringing out the best in everyone. Founded in 1884, we are a co-educational independent day school with a proud tradition of excellence.  We aim to realise the full potential of our pupils in all areas so that each and every pupil becomes a successful and confident individual who takes an active role both in the school and in the wider community. This will prepare them to excel at university and beyond.
 
We are proud of the diverse achievements of our pupils and our outstanding teaching staff. We hope that you will come to visit us to discover how we bring out the best in everyone.
