Admissions

Bents Green School is a secondary school for young people age 11-19. We are a special needs school for young people with Autism Spectrum Condition and Communication and Interaction difficulties. 

All young people who attend Bents Green School have an Educational, Health, Care Plan (EHCP).

Bents Green School operates over five different sites, with each site taking a different and tailored approach to supporting the needs of our students. For more information about what each site offers our students, please visit the Our Sites page. 

Applying for a place at Bents Green School

Bents Green School follows the Sheffield City Council policy on school admissions: Apply for a school place | Sheffield City Council

Parents/Carers wishing to apply for a place at Bents Green School should speak with their current school's SENCO. All young people attending Bents Green School must have an Educational, Health, Care Plan (EHCP). Students with an EHCP should be discussing transition options as early as Y4 or Y5 as part of the annual review process.

Please note, when families apply for a place at Bents Green School, our team carefully reviews each child’s Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) and usually visits them in their current school. Based on this information, the school decides which site can best meet their individual needs. Families don’t need to choose a site — we’ll make sure to match each child to the environment and curriculum that will support them best.
