Admissions
Our Lady of the Rosary has an admissions limit of 45 in each year group from Reception to Y6. Our admissions policy is adopted from Hexham and Newcastle diocese and details how we will order applications in the event of being oversubscribed.
We are committed to meeting the needs of all children including those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities. We would ask parents to discuss the identified needs with the school prior to starting so that appropriate intervention and support can be planned and implemented. Advice from the LA or other agencies may be requested to ensure any the school can meet any needs appropriately.
Visit the Durham County Council website for information regarding the school admission process and primary school admissions.

For further information please view a copy of our Admissions Policy which you can download from our School Policies section of our website.
Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)
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.
