Admissions
At Denby First School we admit 10 new children into Reception each year. Children are mostly from the local area, but children also attend from the neighbouring villages of Denby Dale, Birdsedge, Kitchenroyd, Scissett and Clayton West. We also warmly welcome applications from those who fall within the Barnsley Catchment from Ingbirchworth, Cawthorne and Penistone. This is the case for many of our families as we are located on the boundary for the Barnsley Local Authority. For those with a Kirklees postcode, applications should be made to Kirklees LA. For those with a Barnsley postcode, applications should be made via Barnsley LA but with a preference for Denby First School as your first choice. Applications for a school place can be made at any time, but for a September start should be made before January of the same year.
Our admissions policy can be viewed on our policies page here. If you have further questions you are advised to contact school directly.
Visits to school by parents are encouraged and welcomed.
Supplementary forms for those who are regular worshipers can also be attached to applications.
