As in previous years, Durham County Council are strongly encouraging parents/carers to apply on-line for a school place for their child. They are stressing even more that parents should do this if they are able to, given the current situation with Covid 19 and changes to working practices. All the information you need to be able to do this is available from the Council’s website from 14 September 2020:
www.durham.gov.uk/schooladmissions
Please find attached a copy of the postcards which tells parents/carers they can access the Parent’s Guide (the Primary and Secondary School Admission Guide) and the on-line application system using the above link .
Important:
The Primary and Secondary School Admission Guide advises those parents/carers who do not apply on-line for a school place to send their paper application forms to Durham County Council. It also advises they may want to return the forms by ‘Royal Mail Signed for’ or ‘Royal Mail Special Delivery Guaranteed’ as in the event of non-receipt, proof of delivery will be required. It is even more important given the current situation with Covid 19 and changes to working practices that proof of delivery will be required.
Thank you
