admission into school
Along with their children, prospective parents and carers are most welcome to visit the school during our scheduled ‘Open Days’. To find out more details about these, please contact the school office.
Our Admissions Policy is set by the Local Education Authority (LEA) and does not permit gender,race, colour or disability to be used as criteria for admission. The allocation of places and admission of children into the Foundation Stage is the responsibility of the Primary Admissions Team, Floor 3, Howden House, 1 Union Street, Sheffield S1 1SH. Telephone: 0114 273 5766.
Children are admitted to school in September or January, depending upon their birth date. Children with a birthday between 1st September and 29th February will be admitted into full-time school in September. Those with birthdays between 1st March and 31st August will be admitted into full time school in January. Application forms for places are available from the school and can be collected in the year before your child’s admission date. If you have any queries at all regarding admissions,please do not hesitate to contact us.
If your child is transferring from another school then, once again, the school will be most happy to help with any queries you may have about admission and transition procedures.
During their time in Year 2, all children who attend Hunter’s Bar Infant School are offered a place at Hunter’s Bar Junior School, in line with the LEA published application procedure. Both schools share the same site.
starting school
We aim to ensure that the transition into school is as smooth and successful as possible for you and your child. Indeed, we have an excellent transition programme which involves having strong links with all local nurseries and pre-schools. We meet all children before they start school and visit them in their pre-school setting. Prior to starting school, your child will also be invited to visit their new classroom and meet the teaching staff. After which, your child’s future class teacher will arrange a home visit. This is an opportunity for them to meet you and your child in their home environment before starting school and to answer any further questions you may have about starting school.
