Parents of Pupils due to start full time primary school

If your child is due to start full time primary school you should receive a letter from the council before the end of August the year before they are due to start school. This letter sets out the procedure for applying for a school place and where to get further information from.

If your child lives in Rotherham you must complete an application for them to attend primary school before the closing date of 15 January. You can apply for any school not just those in Rotherham.

If you are a parent of a child, who will start full time primary school in September and you have not received a letter by the end of August the year before they are due to start school, please contact an Admissions officer on the telephone number above and information will be sent to you.

Once your child has received a place at school, please fill in this form and hand it in to the office.
