Admissions Information

Admission to Nursery 

Admissions to nursery are processed through the school. Parents need to complete an Application for Nursery Form, which is available from the school office and return the completed form with their child’s Birth Certificate.

If you would like your child to attend our nursery, please see full details of our admission arrangements below.

Children do not automatically move into Reception. You will need to complete the application form below to apply for a place. If you require further support, please don’t hesitate to contact the office or our nursery lead, Sarah Baker.

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.

Below is the link to the Sheffield City Council Website where you can apply for primary and secondary school place:

Apply for a school place | Sheffield City Council

All applicants will be considered and places are then allocated by the local authority.

Joining the school after September

Sometimes children need to change school at different times because of moving house or other reasons. School places are managed and allocated by the Local Authority, so parents wishing to gain a place at Lower Meadow for their child will need to contact the LA Admissions Team on 0114 2735766.
