Admission Arrangements

Whilst we can advise parents on whether we have space in particular year groups, all admissions into Neville’s Cross are completed following the Durham County Council process for admitting children into school.

Nursery Admissions

The school oversees all admission arrangements for our governor led school nursery.  Our nursery admission limit is set at 26 children per session, however we can admit more than 26 children across different patterns of attendance.  If you are thinking about applying for a nursery place, please complete the application form and return to Mrs Brannan, Head Teacher.  Our nursery is full for this academic year so our next intake will be September 2026.  

Our next nursery open event is yet to be confirmed, but if you are interested in a place for September 2026, please give us a call on 0191 3842249 or complete and return an application form.
