Will your child turn 5 between 1 September 2027 and 31 August 2028?

If so, you need to complete an application online to tell Durham County Council which school you would like your child to attend from September 2027.

Visit www.durham.gov.uk/primaryschoolplaces where you can access a useful guide to help with your application. The easiest way to apply is online. If you are unable to apply online, paper application forms are available on request.

You still need to apply even if your child attends the nursery attached to the school, or already has a sibling at the school.

Applications open 1 September 2026 and close midnight 15 January 2027.

We’re getting ready for our summer fair! Are you coming along for some sweet treats, to soak Mr Handy or to try to win a giant teddy bear (so that Mrs Wilson-Smith doesn’t have to take him home!). Let’s get going with a great afternoon! Thank you to Friends of St Oswald's for organising this amazing school community event.

Our Y6s celebrated the end of a testing week with a trip out for pizza and bowling (plus a birthday song and cake for Mr H!). They were sporting their fantastic leavers hoodies (thank you to parents for funding these along with a contribution from the Friends of St Oswald's!). We are so proud of these children! They give everything their all with so much enthusiasm and fun. They’re kind, caring, courageous and so many other things! Well done on a great week, Class of 2026!

Please note: this is in addition to the already planned non-uniform day at the end of this half term.

Just before Easter, our Y5 and Y6 drama club took part in the Coram Shakespeare Schools Foundation festival in conjunction with Hild Bede College, Durham University. They learned their lines and gave a brilliant performance of Twelfth Night. We were really impressed by all of their hard work and so proud of them! Thank you to Mr Handy and Mrs Lawes for making the magic happen as the Directors. Thank you to BOWES - Bespoke Gifts and Events for helping us with character name t-shirts - they looked amazing. Thank you to Hild Bede College and Coram Shakespeare Schools Foundation for the opportunity to take part in this event. And a huge well done to our drama club performers!
