All applications must go through the local authority admissions team. When your child is due to transfer from a primary to secondary school, you will have to apply for a school place. You can apply for places at schools in Hull and outside Hull if you would like to. Further details regarding out admissions arrangements can be provided by the local authority admissions team.

Applications to schools are made through the local authority where you live, even if the school is in another local authority’s area. All local authorities have both on-line and paper application forms. Please visit your local authority’s website for more specific information on how to apply.
Malet Lambert is in the Hull City Council local authority. Hull City Council's admissions information can be found on their website.
An admission number will be published showing the maximum number of pupils that the school will admit in the Autumn Term. Parents are given the opportunity to express three preferences for a secondary school. Published criteria are used to decide which children should be offered the available places.
In secondary schools an equal preference system operates, whereby the three parental preferences are given equal status. Each preference will be considered equally against the admissions criteria.
The allocation of school places is based on parental preference following the High Court judgment against Rotherham LA. Parents/carers are required to submit applications under the arrangements set out in the co-ordinated admissions scheme.
Applications for pupils having statements of special educational needs/educational health and care plans (EHCP) will be dealt with in accordance with the Code of Practice on Special Educational Needs and disabilities. Where a school is named in part 4 of a child’s statement or recorded in the Educational Health and Care Plan, following consultation with the Head and Governors, the governing bodies are required to admit the pupil. After the allocation of statemented/EHCP pupils, where the number of applications is greater than the remaining places the following criteria will be applied in the order set out below.
There are two different types of admissions – those to start school at the ‘normal’ time for the start of the Year 7, 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, and when a family moves to a different area and needs a new school place for their child(ren).
Whilst the admission authority for our school is the academy, admissions applications are co-ordinated by the Local Authority, Hull City Council.
If you would like to visit the school when considering making an application, please call 01482 374211 to arrange a visit.
Applications to start our school for the first time, for the start of Year 7 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 within the Hull City Council area, then you can find more information about ‘normal’ admissions processes, deadlines, details of the appeal process and other information via www.hull.gov.uk/education-and-schools/schools/secondary-school-applications
There is no supplementary information form when applying for a place at our school.
Although we are an academy the admissions authority for the school is the academy trust/governing body. We have formally requested that applications for school places are made through the local authority’s co-ordinated admissions scheme for in-year applications. 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 Hull LA Fair Access Protocol. Applicants will be informed of the outcome of their application as soon as is 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 Hull area, then you can find more information about ‘in-year’ admissions processes, and details of the co-ordinated admissions scheme at www.hull.gov.uk/education-and-schools/schools/secondary-school-applications where you can also find the application process with details of how to appeal for a school place where you have been refused.
There is no supplementary information form when applying for a place at our school.
As we are an academy, the admissions authority for the school is the academy trust. It is the admission authority, and not the Local Authority who determines whether there is an available place based upon the capacity of the class/year group and the number of pupils already on roll.
