School Admissions

Admission to Schools

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.

Information about Schools

A schools prospectus includes details of their Admission Policy and other information about the school.  These are available free of charge from the school or by accessing the School's Website.  Alternatively, a copy of each prospectus is available for inspection (but not removal) at Admissions and Pupil Services, Council House and at the local branch library serving the same area as the school.

Statement of Special Educational Need

If your child has a Statement of Special Educational Need (SEN) or a proposed statement, you should contact the SEN Team on 01302 737207.
