Applying for a school place
To apply for pupils to begin school with us in Reception Class, please contact Durham County Council. Please take note of the timelines and important dates set out.
For all in year applications please contact the school office in the first: office@stcuthbertsprimary.com and see the following Durham County Council pages for application forms: Apply to change primary school.
If your child is baptised/christened, please provide a copy of the certificate to school when applying for a place.
Applying for a school place if your child has an Education, Health and Care Plan
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.
