Any application made after this closing date is considered a late application. If your application is late you may be less likely to get in to your preferred school.
If you do not live in the Rotherham area, you must contact your local council Admissions Team for further advice.
Primary School Admission offer day is 16th April (or next working day if this falls on a weekend). If you apply online you can log into your account on 16th April to view your school place offer. You will need to know your login details – the email account and password you used when you made your application. If you applied in writing or by telephone a letter will be issued to you detailing your school place offer.
