All applications and admission decisions are made by County Hall. Visit the Durham County Council websites below for information.
To help every child get the best start in life, DfE know children need to be ready to begin school. This involves a range of basic skills outlined in the Starting Reception booklet. If you have any queries about getting your child ready for school, please email the Infant School office at lumley.infants@durhamlearning.net
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 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.
