Admissions

School Admissions

Every child has to apply for a place at school. It’s a very easy thing to do but you need to follow the application rules that are laid out.

So please read through the guidelines carefully and then you can apply for a place for your child to come to our school. School admission is administered through the Hull City Council Primary Schools Admissions Team. This includes applications for starting school, in year transfers and appeals.

Key points

The schools that make up Hull Collaborative Academy Trust will use the following admission arrangements:

1. Applications for pupils having an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) will be dealt with in accordance with the Code of Practice on Special Educational Needs.
2. Where a school is named in a child’s EHCP, following consultation with the Head, the school is required to admit the pupil.
3. If there are less applications than places available, all applicants will be offered a place.
4. Applications by parents of children who wish to defer their child’s admission until the following year will be assessed on a case-by-case basis.
5. After the allocation of EHCP pupils, where the number of applications is greater than the remaining places, criteria will be applied to offer places (please see criteria on page 2 of the policy).

Appeals

An appeal form and guidance will either be included with the allocation letter or provided on request, we would refer you to the specific LA website for how this is administered. The completed form should be returned to the admissions team by the date specified on the appeal form. Appeals for normal round admissions will be heard within 40 academy days of the closing date for appeals by an independent appeal panel arranged locally and 30 days for in-year admissions.
