If your child has an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP), there is a separate admissions process. Find more details on the Local Offer website.
You will need to request a school transfer if your child already attends or has attended a primary school but you want to transfer them to another.
If your child was born between 1 September 2021 and 31 August 2022, you must apply for a primary school place between 1 October 2025 and 15 January 2026. If you live in Hull, you must apply to us with your preferences for primary schools for your child. This is even if the school you want is not in Hull.
If you have moved to the UK and want to apply for a school place for your child, you must check that you have a right to live or work in the UK without any immigration restriction (or that the conditions of your immigration status permit you to have access to a state funded school place). It is your responsibility as the parent/carer to check that your children have a right to study at a state funded school.
Selecting the right school for your child
We have created a guide for parents and carers. It contains useful information about the application process.
Most primary schools currently use a catchment area as part of their admission arrangements. You can see if your home is in the catchment area of your preferred school by accessing the catchment map.
For more information about catchment areas or maps, contact the Admissions team by -
