If you think you are entitled to a 2 year old Free Early Learning Place (FEL) and are having difficulty accessing the code, please contact the school so we can support you with this process.
Reception Admissions
It is the responsibility of parents / carers to ensure that they apply for a school place via Sheffield City Council when their child is due to start school.
Applications have to be submitted by the 15th January for children to start in the September.
| Date of Birth | Apply By | Start Date |
| 1 September 2017 to 31 August 2018 | 15 January 2022 | September 2022 |
| 1 September 2018 to 31 August 2019 | 15 January 2023 | September 2023 |
| 1 September 2019 to 31 August 2020 | 15 January 2024 | September 2024 |
If your child is due to start Reception in September 2024 and you would like to visit us to have a tour of the school, please call the office on 0114 255 1704. We have a number of tour dates available prior to the application deadline. To submit an application for your child, you need to apply via the Sheffield City Council website. The Sheffield Admissions Team will allocate you a place based on the admission criteria and availability.
If your child is joining us in Reception Class but has not attended a Nursery previously, we are often able to offer a place in our Nursery for the last term of the school year so they start to meet some of the children who will be moving up to Reception with them and get used to the routine of the school day.
In Year Transfers
If you would like to move your child to Sharrow School after the usual Reception admission time, you will need to apply via Sheffield City Council. Although we are full in most year groups, we do occasionally have spaces if a family move. It is worth checking with the office team if there are any spaces in the year groups you are looking for and applying via the Sheffield Admissions Team to go onto the waiting list.
