Transfer from primary to secondary school

If we cannot offer a place at any of your preferred schools, we will –

• place your child on a waiting list for the school until the end of the autumn
• allocate your child a place at the next nearest Hull school that has a vacancy

Appeals

If we cannot place you at one of your preferred schools, we will offer you the right to appeal

An appeal form and guidance will be sent to you with the letter which confirms the outcome of your application.

If you decide to appeal, you must return this form to the admissions team within 20 school days.

Some schools are responsible for arranging their own independent appeals. If we receive completed forms for these schools, they will be forwarded directly to them.

An independent appeal panel of 3 volunteers will hear the appeal. They will consider -

• the school's reason for not offering a place
• your reasons for needing a place at the school

Your appeal must be heard within 40 school days, and you will receive information at least 10 days before about the date and location of the appeal.

You will be informed of the outcome of the appeal in writing within 6 days after your appeal has been heard.
