Hull asks for proof of address when it needs to check where your child lives for school admissions, and some schools also need a supplementary information form with the application. If you’re applying online, the main things to prepare are your address details, any proof of residence if requested, and any school-specific form for certain faith schools.
| What you may need | When it’s needed |
|---|---|
| Proof of residence / address | Hull may ask for suitable proof of residence, tenancy agreement, proof of sale and completion, or proof of council tax payment |
| Evidence of a house move | If you’ve moved home, Hull may ask for an exit utility bill, completion of sale document, notice to leave from your landlord, council tax bill for the new property, tenancy agreement for the new property, or evidence of completion of a house purchase |
| One address only | You must use the address where the child and parent/carer are ordinarily resident |
| Supplementary Information Form (SIF) | If you apply for certain schools, you must complete and submit that school’s SIF with the application |
| Common Application Form (CAF) | If you need it, you can download it or request one from the School Admissions Team |
The schools named for a SIF are Alderman Cogan’s, St Charles, Endsleigh Holy Child, St Anthony’s, St Mary Queen of Martyrs, St Richards, St Thomas More and St Vincent’s. If Hull asks for proof, it’s there to prevent fraudulent applications, so it’s worth keeping recent bills or tenancy/purchase paperwork handy.
