Information about Admission to Reception
Children enter Reception at the beginning of the school year in which they are 5. All children start Reception at the start of the school year in September. All parents, as part of Sheffield Local Authority’s admissions policy have to apply to the Local Authority (LA) for admission to the school of their choice. Parents have to fill in an application form for a place for their child. Places are then allocated by the LA.
