# Schools in Sheffield

140 schools with published admissions figures

"1st preferences per place" is how many families named a school first, for each place it offered, in the newest year held. It describes demand. It is not a pass rate and it does not say whether a child would be offered a place. A dash means the figure is not held.

## How the 2026 round went

Counts families, not schools. The table below cannot be added up into these figures, because a child naming three schools appears in three of its rows.

### Primary

For September 2026, 95.1% of families applying for a primary place here were offered their first choice, and 98.9% were offered one of the three schools they named.

That is 5.0 points higher than in 2016, when it was 90.1%.

The council's primary schools between them had 6,785 places for 5,415 applications. That is a total for the whole council and says nothing about any one school in it.


### Secondary

For September 2026, 88.7% of families applying for a secondary place here were offered their first choice, and 96.6% were offered one of the three schools they named.

That is 1.5 points higher than in 2016, when it was 87.2%.

The council's secondary schools between them had 6,421 places for 6,416 applications. That is a total for the whole council and says nothing about any one school in it.


## The rules its schools allocated under in 2026

From the council's own allocation reports, covering 17 schools. **This is not the order of priority.** The reports say how many children each rule admitted, never where the rule sits in the list, so these are ordered by the number of children and that is a different thing. These are the council's own names for its rules and cannot be compared with another council's.

### Used across the council

Recorded by most of its schools, so part of the council's standard scheme rather than one school's own arrangement.

| Rule | Schools | Children admitted |
|---|---:|---:|
| Catchment | 17 | 1,605 |
| Catchment, with a sibling attending the school | 15 | 986 |
| Attends a feeder primary | 14 | 397 |
| Sibling will be attending the school in September | 15 | 328 |
| Pupils with an Education Health and Care Plan | 15 | 146 |
| Children looked after | 13 | 41 |

### Used by some schools only

Recorded by a minority of schools here, so more likely to belong to those schools' own arrangements than to the council's scheme.

| Rule | Schools | Children admitted |
|---|---:|---:|
| Catchment, and attends a feeder primary | 2 | 241 |
| Last category, all other applications | 8 | 189 |
| Already on roll in the school's own primary phase | 3 | 132 |

## If a family is refused a place

In 2026, families in Sheffield lodged 544 appeals about a school place.

376 of them were heard by a panel and 111 succeeded, which is about 30 in every 100 heard.

The other 168 did not reach a panel. Most appeals that do not are withdrawn because a place comes up first.

This is a record of decisions already made. A panel hears one case at a time and decides it on what that family sets out, so these figures do not indicate what would happen in any particular appeal.

Source: Department for Education, admission appeals in England, reporting year 2026. Counts every school in this council area. The share that succeeded is taken over appeals heard by a panel, not over appeals lodged.

## Schools here running specialist SEN provision

22 of this council's published schools run a SEN unit or a resourced provision: teaching for children with special educational needs, on the same site as the rest of the school.

This says a provision exists and nothing more. Neither how many children it takes nor which kinds of need it is set up for is published for a mainstream school, and it is not a statement about how well any school supports children with SEN. Ask the school or the council. Source: Department for Education, special educational needs in England.
