School Admissions

The Local Authority oversee all admission arrangements for our school including admission arrangements for children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).

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.

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 outside agencies may be requested to ensure the school can meet any needs appropriately.

Further information can be found in our Admissions Policy and Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) Policy which you can find in the School Policies section of our website.

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

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