School allocations
Each school has a published number of places that are available for allocation.
Where there are -
- places available for all pupils that have applied then all pupils will qualify for a place
- more applications for places than there are places available, the oversubscription criteria is used to determine which pupils qualify for one of these places
If your child -
- qualifies for a place at only one of the schools named on the application form, your child will be offered a place at the school
- qualifies for a place at more than one of the schools named on your application form, your child will be offered a place at the school you ranked highest
- does not qualify for a place at any of the schools named on your application form, your child will be offered a place at your nearest school which has a place available
If you live outside of Hull and have applied for a Hull school, your home authority will forward your application to us. We will notify them if your child qualifies for a place at a Hull school. Your home authority will then confirm which school place your child should be given based on the order of your preferences.
