You will need to request a transfer if your child already attends or has attended a secondary school but you want to transfer them to another.
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.
If your child is in year 6 during the 2024 to 2025 school year, you must have applied for a secondary school place between Sunday 1 September 2024 and Thursday 31 October 2024. If you live in Hull, you apply to us with your preferences of secondary 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, check that you have a right to live or work in the UK without any immigration restrictions or that the conditions of your immigration status let you access a state funded school place. It is your responsibility as the parent or carer to check that your children have a right to study at a state funded school.
Applications should be made online between Sunday 1 September 2024 and Thursday 31 October 2024. Make sure that you have your details correct before you submit your form. If one of your preferred schools is St Mary’s College, you must also complete a Supplementary Information Form. This can be posted to the School Admissions Team or attached to your online application.
