About Halfway Nursery Infant School

Halfway Nursery Infant School is a state primary in Sheffield that serves children from age three to seven, and it is noticeably popular with local families. The school currently has 197 pupils on roll against a capacity of 180, meaning it is operating above its official limit. This oversubscription is backed up by the admission data for the 2025/26 intake: the school received 105 applications for 53 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.98. Of those applicants, 51 put the school as their first preference, and all 51 were offered a place. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 22.1%, which is higher than the national average for primary schools and suggests the school draws from a relatively diverse socioeconomic catchment. The school is non-denominational and mixed, with a nursery provision attached, making it a straightforward option for families looking for an infant school that feeds into a junior school later on.
