Admissions

How to apply for a place in our school

The Sheffield City Council Admissions Team handles all admissions, including maintaining waiting lists and appeals. Information can be found on the Sheffield City Council website, by email at ed-admissions@sheffield.gov.uk , or by telephone at 0114 2735766.

In-Year Admissions
If a parent of a child on our roll wishes to apply for a transfer to another Sheffield school, they must obtain a transfer form from the school for completion.

The application must then be sent to the Local Authority, which will process it on the parent’s behalf and confirm the outcome in writing.

Details of how the in-year applications are managed can be seen at https://www.sheffield.gov.uk/home/schools-childcare/apply-school-place.html

Families new to Sheffield
Families that are new to the City should contact the Children Missing Education Team at ed-missingchildren@sheffield.gov.uk or 0114 273 6462 to arrange an appointment to make an admission application.

What happens if the school is oversubscribed?

Nether Green Infant School has an admission number of 75.

Any child with an Education Health Care Plan or statement of Special Educational Needs that names a specific school must be offered a place there. 

If more applications are received than there are places, the Admissions Authority will prioritise places in the following order:

1. Children in Care or Previously in Care

2. Catchment Area with Sibling

3. Catchment Area

4. Siblings

5. All other applications

School Catchment Area

Our catchment area spreads from Broomhill to the outskirts of Lodge Moor.

The link to Sheffield City Council's website, which allows you to check your home address against school catchment areas, is Sheffield catchment areas. You can also contact the Council Admissions Team at 0114 2735766 or email admissions@sheffield.gov.uk

We have a large map in our school entrance showing our catchment area. 

Transfer to Junior School

The majority of our children move on to Nether Green Junior School at the end of Year 2. Nether Green Infant School and Broomhill Infant School have linked feeder status to Nether Green Junior School. Designated feeder status does not guarantee admission to Nether Green Junior School at the point of transfer to Year 3. 

In the event of oversubscription from pupils who attend Nether Green Infant and Broomhill Infant Schools, the Local Authority offers Year 3 places in the following priority order:

1. Children in Care or previously in Care

2. Children attending a linked feeder school 

3. Children who reside in the defined catchment area and have siblings at Nether Green Infant or Broomhill Infant Schools

4. Children resident in Nether Green catchment area

5. Siblings who were refused a place at their catchment school in a previous year

6. Children who do not live in the Nether Green catchment area but have a sibling attending Nether Green Infant or Junior or Broomhill Infant Schools.

7. All other applications.
