About Greenhill Primary School

Greenhill Primary School is a popular choice among Sheffield families, and the numbers back that up. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 139 applications for just 66 places, giving it an oversubscription ratio of 2.11. That means more than two families applied for every available spot, and of those, 64 first-preference offers were made. This level of demand suggests a strong local reputation, and while the school doesn't publish a formal parent satisfaction score, the sheer volume of applications is a practical signal of confidence from the community. The school is a mixed, state primary for children aged 3 to 11, with nursery provision on site, and is led by headteacher Scott Ellin. It has a non-religious character and serves a diverse catchment, with 38.5% of pupils eligible for free school meals.
