Sheffield City Council will manage your application on your behalf. They aim to inform you of the decision for the school you have applied for within 15 school days and the reason for that decision. If it is not possible to offer a place at any of your preferred schools, they will give you advice on the statutory appeal procedure. The Co-ordinated Admission Schemes are available on request.
Please contact Miss Renshaw at the School Office if you require any further information regarding In-Year applications/transfers.
Appeals Guidance
You are entitled to appeal for a place at any school that your child has been refused admission to. This can be for a maximum of 3 schools.
An appeal is not an application, and you cannot appeal for a school you have not applied for.
If your application for a place is unsuccessful, parents have a right of appeal and should contact the Primary Admissions Team. The Admissions Working Party, an impartial tribunal, hears appeals; their decision is final. Parents can only appeal once for any academic year unless there has been a change in circumstances relevant to the application.
More information and an online application form is available on the Sheffield Council admissions website.
