Every year we have 350 places available to new Year 7 students. Places are allocated in line with the East Riding of Yorkshire Council’s co-ordinated admission scheme, and we priorities as follows:
– Children who are looked after by a local authority and to children who were previously looked after, including children who were previously looked after by a local authority outside England, but ceased to be so because they were adopted or became subject to a residence order or special guardianship order.
– Children who live in the school’s designated catchment area.
– Children who have a sibling attending the school in Years 7 to 10.
– Children who have attended the school’s named feeder junior or primary schools since the beginning of National Curriculum Year 3.
– Children of members of staff working at South Hunsley School and Sixth Form College.
– Children who live closest to the school. The distance from the child’s home to the school will be measured and priority will be given to those living nearest to the school.

All of our Year 7 admissions are handled by the Schools Admissions Team at the East Riding of Yorkshire Council, you will need to contact them to apply for a place for the following academic year.

The Schools Admissions Team allocate all school places and they will confirm to you by your preferred method once the allocations have been released on the 1st March 2023. We do not receive notification of allocations before this time.

No, we are still bound by the admissions code and all our admissions are dealt with in the same way as if we were an LA maintained school.

You can apply for a place at South Hunsley via the Schools Admission Team at East Riding of Yorkshire Council. Please give consideration to school transport, as there is no obligation for a child to be provided with transport to a school outside of their catchment area.

Please checkout our school transport on the school website https://southhunsley.org.uk/parent-information/school-transport/

You can apply for a place at South Hunsley at any time via the Schools Admission Team at East Riding of Yorkshire Council. A place can only be granted if there is a space in that specific year group.

You can appeal our decision not to admit your child and your appeal will be heard by an independent panel who are completely impartial and will make a decision based on the information provided by both sides. Your appeal must be lodged with the School Admissions Team who will arrange this on your behalf.

The Schools Admission Team hold a waiting list for the September intake only, there is always movement as students decline their places and opt to be educated elsewhere but we cannot guarantee how many that will be. We will continue to take students until we are at capacity at 350.

We try, where possible, to facilitate tours if we have places available. These tours are facilitated by Mrs Beharrell, Transition Co-ordinator. If there are no places available to offer in the year group you are requesting, we would not normally be able to accommodate a tour due to operational logistics.

Unfortunately proof of your address will be required for the admission application if you are moving into the catchment area, once you have provided proof of address, your application will be dealt with as soon as possible by the Schools Admissions Team at East Riding of Yorkshire Council.

Unfortunately, as you have chosen to opt out of the state education system, you have forfeited your right to an automatic placement at a state school. You can make an application and if there are spaces you will be allocated a place, if we are over subscribed and a request for a place is turned down, you have the right to appeal our decision.

Our feeder primaries are South Cave, North Cave, Swanland, North Ferriby, Welton, Brough, Elloughton and Hunsley Primary.

The admission code states that a child must have attended a junior or primary feeder school from the start of Year 3, the school year in which the child becomes eight years old. Attending a feeder school does not guarantee a child a place at the secondary school.
