Admission Information

Admission to Primary Phase

Parents considering applying for pupil places at the school are welcome to visit and should contact the Primary Phase office to make the necessary arrangements.

At present the school has a standard admission number of 45. Parents requesting a place for their child in a year which is at or above the standard number should contact Pupil Admissions at the Education Office.

Transfer from Year 6 to Hinde House

In September 2008 there will be an open evening for prospective pupils and parents.

During the year Y6 pupils will spend some time with our staff at Hinde House School, whilst undertaking their normal learning activities, such as use of science laboratories, technology workshops and computer room. Many Y5 students also visit Hinde House School (Secondary Phase).

Any parents who wish to visit the school during Y6 may do so by contacting the school. Hinde House staff will be in regular contact with all our partner junior and primary schools. During the summer between Y6 and 7, students who are coming to Hinde House (Secondary Phase) may have the opportunity to attend summer schools.

In July 2009 children will be arranged in tutor groups and both children and parents will be invited to meet their Form Tutor and the other children in the form.

Also in July all pupils will spend at least a day at Hinde House with their form and Form Tutor. This will provide an opportunity to sample lessons and routines.

Prospective parents are able to contact the school at any time for help and advice.

Admission to Secondary Phase

Hinde House is a 3-16 co-educational community comprehensive school. Our students come from Shiregreen, Upper and Lower Wincobank, Tinsley and Darnall areas. Most of our students come from our own Primary Phase, Concord, Limpsfield, Phillimore and Tinsley schools, but we also welcome students from Greenlands, Whiteways, Hatfield, Hucklow, Hartley Brook and Beck and further afield. We welcome students to the school regardless of their social, cultural or religious background and regardless of their ability.

At present the school has an admission limit of 180 places for Y7 pupils. Some students will already have a place in the secondary school because they are in our Primary Phase but there will be around 140 places for other students.

The Local Education Authority has an Admission Policy which is included in the ‘A Partnership with the Parents’ brochure. All parents are advised to read this when making their choice of secondary schools.

In 2008 our secondary phase was over-subscribed.
