Admissions

Keyingham is a friendly village school close to both the maritime history of Hull and the beautiful East Yorkshire coast.

Due to the high volume of applications made to the Local Authority throughout the year for places at Keyingham, it is important to follow the admission procedures provided by the Local Authority. For those parents who wish to transfer their child from another school, they can submit applications at any time during the school year.

Whilst the admission authority for our school is the academy trust, admissions applications are co-ordinated by the Local Authority, East Riding of Yorkshire Council.

'Normal' Admission Requests

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 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.

'In-year' Admission Requests

Applications to start our school 'in-year' should be made direct to the Local Authority no earlier than one term before the place is required, and it is recommended that you apply no later than a period of twenty school days, that is four weeks in term time, before you wish for the place to be available for your child. 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 for their place first will likely be allocated the place for their child. 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 of their application as soon as possible, though this is commonly ten school days after an application has been received, but may be later in certain circumstances.

If you live in the East Riding of Yorkshire Council area, then you can find more information about ‘in-year' admissions processes at www.eastriding.gov.uk/school-admissions. If you live outside the East Riding, you should apply to your ‘home’ Local Authority and not East Riding of Yorkshire Council.
