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 are 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. This is based on the order of your preferences.
What happens next
After the closing date, we process your application. We will have contacted you on 16 April 2024 to let you know which school your child has been allocated.
If you applied online and requested notification by email, a confirmation of your allocated school was sent to your email address on 17 April 2024. If you did not request confirmation by email or you did not apply online, you must wait for your allocation letter which is sent by first class post on 16 April 2024. We cannot confirm your child's allocated school over the telephone.
If your application was made after 15 January 2024, you may not receive your offer of a school place until after 15 May 2024.
