Read 2026-09-12 from the report to Durham County Council Cabinet of 11 February 2026 (Key Decision CYPS/2026/001). Durham does not publish its arrangements on its admissions pages — the council's own guidance says they are "included in the Cabinet agenda and minutes", so the determined criteria and the admission number for every school are in the committee papers. Appendix 2 of the same report carries the admission numbers. CORRECTION 2026-09-12: this row was first written the same day with the right notes but an empty criteria list — every rule came out blank. The rules below were re-read from the same determined document and written back.

Published by the admission authority. Meeting a criterion never guarantees a place — it sets the order places are offered in. Full detail, other entry points and previous years are on the Admissions tab.
