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. It determines 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.
