Contact details for your child's specific site can be found here.

In the case of emergencies or significant medical incidents/accidents, Bents Green School will always endeavour to contact parents/carers personally.

Tutor teams are also expected to contact you to give an update on your child at least once a week.

MyEd App

The MyEd app is the communication system used by school to connect with parents via text and email. You may receive text and email messages from school for a variety of reasons such as: reminders of meetings, notifications of a letter being sent home, adverse weather/school closure alerts, and tailored community outreach opportunities.

To allow for smooth communication between Bents Green School and parents/carers please make sure to inform school of any changes to phone numbers, home addresses, and email addresses by contacting the admin team.

Information about the timings of the day can be found here.

For upcoming school events, please see the school calendar. 

For information about our different curriculum routes, see Our Curriculum.

If you require your child to be transported to and from school using Sheffield City Council’s SEN Transport, then you must apply for transport support online. To apply, please visit the following link: Apply for home to school transport | Sheffield City Council. 

Please note, if you have any sudden changes to your usual pick-up or drop-off arrangements, please ensure you notify the school and Transport services as soon as possible.

The Transport services telephone number is: 0114 203 7570.

There are occasions when your child will be taken off-site to encourage independent or small group travel. To help the school balance the costs incurred by taking students off-site, we kindly request that you apply for a travel pass for your child. Travel passes should be kept on your child’s person at all times during the school day. If your child is entitled to a disability travel pass, you can apply for one via the Sheffield City Council website. 

Please visit our Attendance page for advice on what to do if your child is unable to attend school on a given day. 

Please note: we are a cashless school. 

Westfield School uses a different system for payment of school meals. Please refer to the Westfield School website for further details. Payment for specific Bents Green activities are dealt with by the Bents Green office within the school, further information and guidance can be requested from them.

We aim to provide a varied and challenging curriculum both on and off the school site to ensure each student has high-quality educational and ‘life’ experiences. The staff team are very experienced and skilled in managing all the activities carefully, sensitively and, above all, safely.

For every off-site activity, staff complete a thorough risk assessment. This is done to ensure planned activities are safe, well supported and take into account the differing needs and capabilities of the students concerned.

After completing an intial parental consent pack you will not be asked to sign again for the majority of off-site activities offered by the school, (Eg. Preparation for Adulthood lessons, visits to local amenities etc.), as these activities are part of the school curriculum and will usually take place during the timetabled day. 

For visits outside of the usual timetable a separate letter will be sent home giving details of the visit along with request for your consent.

On occasions, students may be transported in approved staff cars, if this is felt to be more appropriate at the time.

For school uniform regulations, please see the School Uniform page. 

We ask students to agree to hand in phones/electronic devices to their Tutor on arrival at school. The phone or electronic device will be placed in a named wallet for storage in a locked cupboard. The student can collect these items at the end of the school day. Students understand that if they do not keep to the agreement they may be told not to bring a mobile phone or other electronic device to school.

Any prescribed medications required to be taken by your child during the school day must be sent to school in their original packaging and should be handed into reception or given to the SEN Transport escort to deliver.  We are not allowed to accept loose tablets in envelopes, etc. Parents/carers will be asked to complete a ‘Parental Agreement for School Setting to Administer Medicine Form’.

If your child has any health-related conditions which school should be aware of please contact school immediately.
