Admissions
There are two different types of admissions – those to start primary school at the ‘normal’ time for the start of Reception and those for places in other year groups or at any other time – these are called ‘in-year’ applications for school places. In-year applications are made, for example, when a child is already attending one school and the parent/carers wish to move their child from one school to another, or when a family moves to a different area and needs a new school place for their child(ren).
The admission authority for our school is the East Riding of Yorkshire Council and admissions applications are co-ordinated by the Council.. Please click here for further information..
How do I apply for a ‘normal’ school place for my child?
Applications to start our school for the first time, for the start of Reception, should be made direct to the Local Authority in which you live by the deadline for applications. Late applications will be considered after those submitted by the deadline, often when there are no places available, so it is important that you apply on time.
If you live in the East Riding of Yorkshire Council area, you can find more information about ‘normal’ admissions processes, deadlines, details of the appeal process and other information at:
www.eastriding.gov.uk/apply-for-a-school-place. If you live outside the East Riding, you should apply to your ‘home’ Local Authority and not East Riding of Yorkshire Council.
There is no supplementary information form when applying for a place at our school.. More information for families of children due to start in Reception can be found here.
How do I apply for an ‘in-year’ school place for my child?
Applications for ‘in-year’ school places are made through the Local Authority’s co-ordinated admissions scheme and should be made direct to the Local Authority no earlier than one term before the place is required. It is recommended that you apply no later than twenty school days (four weeks in term time) before you wish for the place to be available.
Applications are considered in the order that they have been received. For example, if there is one space available in a year group, the parent/carer who applied first is likely to be allocated the place. Proof of residence may be required before places can be allocated, and the school fully adheres to the East Riding Fair Access Protocol.
Applicants will be informed of the outcome as soon as possible. This is commonly within ten school days of the application being received, but may take longer in certain circumstances.
If you live in the East Riding of Yorkshire Council area, you can find more information about ‘in-year’ admissions processes and download an application form at: www.eastriding.gov.uk/school-admissions where you can also find and download an application form along with details of how to appeal for a school place where you have been refused.
