If your child is resident in the East Riding of Yorkshire, you can use this Portal to apply for a school place before the deadline for applications. If you are resident outside of the East Riding of Yorkshire, please apply to your home local authority - for example Hull City Council or North Yorkshire County Council. You can apply if your child is:
- Due to start Reception at a Primary or Infant school in September 2025 – the deadline to apply is 15 January 2025
- Due to start Year 3 at a Junior school in September 2025 – the deadline to apply is 15 January 2025

After the deadline has passed for applications, you cannot apply online so after the relevant date above you should contact us to make an application. You will also not be able to change your account details, your child’s details or any details on your application including their address and school preferences.
Registering with this Portal
Before being able to make an application for a school place, you must register and validate your email address from a link in an email we will send you as part of the registration. Please ensure you check your ‘junk’ email folder if you do not think you have received the registration email. Failure register and validate your account will mean that your account will be locked, and you will be unable to proceed with the application process.
If you have previously applied for a school place on this site before 1 September 2016 you will need to re-register as a new user with an alternative email address, to make your application. Once the registration process is complete, you will be able to update your email address in the 'my account' section.
Your Child’s Address
The address you input for your child should be the address at which your child is resident with a parent/carer with parental responsibility for that child. If you have moved address since last using the Portal, you can update your own address by clicking on 'My Account' and then selecting 'Contact Details'.
You will also need to update your child's address details within your application. To do this you will need to access your application by selecting 'school places', select the application and then click 'Change application' where you can amend your child's address on the appropriate page. Please then review all remaining pages and resubmit your application.
Please note that by logging into this portal you are automatically adhering to the terms and conditions and privacy notice outlined in the links below.
