South Hunsley School and Sixth Form College: admissions history
How many families applied, how many places there were, and how far the last place went - every year we hold.
For September 2026 entry, 343 families put South Hunsley School and Sixth Form College as their first choice and 506 named it as one of their preferences, for 340 places offered. It had fewer first-choice applications than places, so in 2026 a family who put it first could expect an offer unless the school's other criteria ruled them out.
Demand has been fairly steady: 300 first choices in 2021, against 343 in 2026.
Across East Riding of Yorkshire, 97% of families were offered their first-choice secondary school for 2026 entry, and 99% were offered one of the schools they named.
In 2025, families in East Riding of Yorkshire lodged 56 appeals against secondary school offers; 42 reached a hearing and 3 succeeded (7.1% of those heard).
