Admissions Criteria

Bents Green School is a secondary school for young people aged 11-19 and all attendees have an Educational, Health and Care Plan (EHCP). Admissions follow Sheffield City Council policy; parents/carers should speak with their current SENCO. When applying, the school reviews each child’s EHCP and usually visits them in their current school, and the school then assigns a site (Ringinglow, Gleadless, Enterprise Works, Handsworth/Westfield) that best meets the child’s needs; families do not choose a site themselves.
