Primary School Admissions

The closing date to apply for a primary school place for September 2025 is midnight on Wednesday 15th January 2025.

If you would like your child to attend our school from September 2025, you need to complete an application online. Visit http://www.durham.gov.uk/schooladmissions where you can access a useful guide to help with your application. Paper application forms are available on request from the School Office. You would still need to apply for a Primary School place even if your child attends our Nursery or already has a sibling at our school. For more information please contact Durham County Council School Admissions.

If your child’s birthday falls between 1 September 2020 and 31 August 2021 your child will start Reception at an infant or primary school in September 2025.

If your child’s birthday falls between 1 September 2017 and 31 August 2018 and your child currently attends an infant school, they will start junior school in September 2025.

You must make an application for your child’s school place as there is no automatic transfer from either nursery school to infant or primary school (Reception intake) or infant school to junior school (Year 3 intake)
