Background
History
The centre opened on 3 September 1913 as Durham County Girls School, with the official opening by Hensley Henson, then Dean of Durham Cathedral and later Bishop of Durham, following on 21 January 1914. It was one of two schools (the other now being Durham Johnston Comprehensive School) established by the council from the bequest of Susan Johnston, the widow of James Finlay Weir Johnston the first reader in Chemistry at Durham University, and it had been suggested that the school should be called the Johnston School for Girls.
