School Admissions
Admission to School - In Doncaster, schools are arranged into ‘pyramids’ based upon a number of primary schools linked with a secondary school. The area which a school serves, is referred to as a ‘catchment area’. Each address in Doncaster has a catchment area school and most parents apply for their children to attend their local school.Our school admissions process is co-ordinated through the local Authority. All applications must be completed online as per the Doncaster MBC website (links below). Only they can decide who is eligible for a place in our school. Local Authority contact details are as follows:
Nursery Admissions
Nursery - Children are usually admitted to a school nursery in the September following their third birthday.
You will have to apply again for a place in our reception class as attending our nursery class does not automatically guarantee your child a place.
- The application process for admissions to nursery can be completed on the following website:
