In-Year Applications
An application can be made for a place for a child at any time outside the admission round and the child will be admitted where there are available places. An application should be made to the school by completing the in-year admissions application form.
Please return the completed form to School Transfer, School Places and Admissions Team, Children and Young People’s Services, Durham County Council, County Hall, Durham DH1 5UJ or email to schooladmissions@durham.gov.uk. If you require any help to complete this form please ring 03000 265896.
Where there are places available but more applications than places, the published oversubscription criteria, as set out in the admission arrangements for 2021 – 2022 will be applied.

Parents are advised to read the admission arrangements carefully before making their application.
If there are no places available, the child will be added to the waiting list. Please see the admission arrangements for more details.
