- In Doncaster, schools are arranged into ‘pyramids’ based upon a number of primary schools linked with a secondary school. The area which a school serves, is referred to as a ‘catchment area’. Each address in Doncaster has a catchment area school and most parents apply for their children to attend their local school.

Secondary School Admission
Children normally transfer to Hungerhill School at the end of the National Curriculum Yr 6, although this is subject to Hungerhill’s admissions policy. We are very proud of our close liaison with Hungerhill and the other feeder schools in the pyramid. Close co-operation means that transfer to secondary school is smooth.
