Over the coming year, our staff will be working closely with Year 6 pupils from our local primary schools, providing a range of transition activities designed to help children build confidence, develop relationships and become familiar with life at Holderness before they join us. We are equally keen to get to know prospective students from schools further afield and will be offering additional opportunities for families to connect with us throughout the year, including transition events and other opportunities to visit and speak with staff.

A reminder that the application deadline for students starting school in September 2027 is 31 October 2026. If you live in Hull please apply here.

Choosing the right secondary school is an exciting and important decision. Therefore, we warmly invite Year 5 / 6 students, parents and carers to join us for our Open Evening and experience everything our academy has to offer.
