Admissions to Durham Cathedral Schools Foundation are considered at any stage of a child's education from Nursery through to Sixth Form.

To understand the entry requirements for each year group, take a look at the relevant sections below.

For all years, once an application enquiry has been made, parents will be guided through this process step-by-step.

Pupils who join us in other years or part way through the year will normally be required to sit an entrance test appropriate to their age. All admissions are subject to a satisfactory reference being received from the candidate's current school.
