School Admissions

Visit the Durham County Council website for information regarding the school admission process and primary school admissions. To appeal against an admission decision visit: School admissions-appeals.

Full details of the admission arrangements can be found in the Primary and Secondary Admissions brochure produced by Durham County Council.

Admissions from Reception to Year 6  are administered by School Places and Admissions, County Hall. Prospective parents should contact 03000 265 879 with any enquiries.

If you would like to arrange a visit to school prior to your child starting, please contact the school.

Nursery Places

Requests for future Nursery places should be made directly to the school office.  We offer both two-year-old nursery provision and nursery for three and four-year-olds.  We offer free Play and Learn spaces as well as 30 hours’ free childcare to eligible families.

Paper copies of application forms can be collected from the school office and you will be contacted by the EYFS lead or office staff before your child is due to start with us.

Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)

We are committed to meeting the needs of all children including those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities. We would ask parents to discuss the identified needs with the school prior to starting so that appropriate intervention and support can be planned and implemented. Advice from the LA or other agencies may be requested to ensure any the school can meet any needs appropriately.

Applying for a school place if your child has an Education, Health and Care Plan or a Statement of SEN

Children and young people with an Education, Health and Care Plan (or Statement of Special Education Needs) follow a different admission and transfer process for a new school. Please continue to complete Durham County Council’s parental preference form, as part of the admission process to a new school. You continue to have a right to request a particular school and this will be considered alongside the information that we have about your child’s special educational needs. The information would have been provided as part of the Education, Health and Care assessment or following the review meeting.

You can view further SEND information by downloading the SEND Policy,  Anti-Bullying Policy, Equality Policy, Respect and Positive Relationships Policy (Behaviour), Supporting Children with Medical Conditions Policy and Accessibility Plan which you can find in the School Policies section of our website.

If you would like to discuss your SEND requirements in detail, please contact the school to arrange an appointment.
