Durham County Council says it has identified 'sufficient places' at alternative schools for pupils currently at Durham Free School.
“Our school admissions team has identified sufficient places at local schools, all of which are rated as at least good by Ofsted, for every student currently studying at this school or who has indicated it as their first choice for this September.
“Many parents have already been in touch and of those a number have also applied for an alternative school place. We will work with parents and receiving schools to ensure that pupils have the smoothest possible transition to their new place of study.
“Any parents who would like support and advice on this can speak with the schools admissions team on 03000 265 896.”
Durham Free School, which is to being closed down, is facing new criticism after pupils were told God designed the solar system.
Less than 24 hours after the government announced the school would close at Easter, parents met to discuss their next move.
