Admission Arrangements
In-Year Admissions
Gleadless Primary School participates in the Local Authority’s Co-ordinated Admission Scheme for in-year admissions. If a parent of a child on our roll wishes to apply for a transfer to another school, they must obtain a transfer form from the school for completion of Section 2. The application must then be sent to the Local Authority which will process the application on the parent’s behalf. The Local Authority will confirm the outcome of the application in writing within 15 school days. If the application is refused, the Local Authority will advise on the statutory appeal procedure. Details of the Co-ordinated Admission Scheme and how in-year applications are managed can be seen at https://www.sheffield.gov.uk/home/schools-childcare/apply-school-place.html
Families New to the City
For families that are new to the city, they should contact the Admissions Team at ed-admissions@sheffield.gov.uk to request an application form.
Allocation
If your child is allocated a place at Gleadless, you will receive a letter from the Local Authority admissions department informing you of this. As soon as you receive this you should make contact with us to arrange a visit to the school.
If you are allocated a place at Gleadless but do not want your child to attend here, you have the right of appeal. Information on how to do this should be included in the allocation letter you received. It is important that you still contact us to tell us you do not want the place for your child.
In most cases, you will be expected to bring your child to Gleadless until the appeal process is complete. If you choose not to do this your child will be referred to the children missing education team.
