Parents and carers in Hull are being reminded that the deadline is approaching to apply for primary school places.
Those that have responsibility for a child born between 1 September 2020 and 31 August 2021 have until Wednesday 15 January 2025 to make an application for a school place from September 2025 onwards.
Applications can be submitted via the Hull City Council My School portal.
If you live in Hull, you must apply with your preferences for primary schools for your child.
This applies whether your preferred school is in Hull or outside of the city.
Hull City Council’s portfolio holder for Children’s Services, Councillor Linda Tock, said: “We want to make sure as many families as possible can send their children to the school that’s right for them.
“96% of pupils were offered their first-choice primary school for 2024, an increase on 2023, so it is great that the way we do things in the city works for the vast majority of people.
“However, it is still really important that parents and carers get their applications in before next month’s deadline, so their preferences of school can be considered for the 16 April, when places are offered.”
Parents and carers who don’t have internet access are encouraged to visit Hull City Council’s customer service centres or any of the city’s public libraries to access the computers there.
Anyone who doesn’t have an email address can request an application form by contacting 01482 300 300.
Those who apply online will receive confirmation of their children’s school allocation by email on Wednesday 16 April 2025.
Where a child has an Education, Health and Care plan (EHCP), there is a separate admissions process.
