Darlington Borough Council manage all of our school admissions. The Admissions Team are an excellent source of expert advice.  They can be contacted on 01325 405907 or by visiting http://www.darlington.gov.uk/education-and-learning/school-years/admissions/

September 2026

For children who will be four on or before 31st August 2026, you will receive a brochure and school details for the schools in your local authority.  If you live in a neighbouring authority (e.g. County Durham), this does not exclude you from nominating our school as your school of preference but you must still apply using your local authority website. 

Darlington Borough Council's 'Primary Guide for Parents 26-27' can be found here.

To help you to make your decision, we are holding an Open Meeting during the Autumn Term (15th October 4-5pm). This session is specifically for parents who do not know the school and are wanting to make a preliminary visit before deciding on the school of their choice. It does not affect the application process at all. 

We appreciate that you may not be able to attend these sessions and so we have also put together a short video which we hope will give you an insight into life in Reception at our school.  Please click below to view:

Please follow precisely the guidance in the booklet provided by the Local Authority. Your application is acknowledged by email.
