Applying for a place at Athersley South

Going to a new school is a very important step for your child. At Athersley South  we want to make the process of applying for a school place as easy as possible for all parents and carers.

You can apply online for your child’s admission but at the moment, online applications can only be made for children starting primary school for the first time https://www.barnsley.gov.uk/services/children-families-and-education/schools-and-learning/school-admissions-and-transfers/primary-school-places/ or for secondary school https://www.barnsley.gov.uk/services/children-families-and-education/schools-and-learning/school-admissions-and-transfers/secondary-school-places/
