Admissions

In September 2025 the school will have 200 places for our new intake of Y7 students. Dinnington High School observes the school’s policy on admissions, approved by our Trust – NCLT. Admission applications are received by Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council’s School Admissions Service (the L.A.). Parents have the right under law to express a preference for a particular secondary school for their child. Information about Dinnington High School is available in our prospectus.

You will receive a letter from the L.A. about transfer to secondary education. It is vital that you follow the application process explained in that document to indicate your preferred secondary school. This applies equally for your catchment area school or some other secondary school. Ensure your choice is sent to the L.A. by the date indicated on the document.

Further information on making an application can be obtained from the L.A. Education Admissions Service at Riverside House (Tel: 01709 382121 – main switchboard).

An online application is available from the Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council (RMBC) website as well as downloadable supporting documents.

If you missed the deadline for submitting your school preference, please use the L.A.’s enquiries form about admissions which is available here: Make a school admissions enquiry – Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council – Make a school admissions enquiry – Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council
