High School Admissions - September 2021

For students currently in Year 6 and starting High School in September 2021, the closing date for secondary school applications is Saturday 31st October.

Parents/carers should, by now, have received detailed information directly from East Riding of Yorkshire Council regarding the high school application process and the steps required to ensure their child secures a place.

As part of this process, we usually look forward to welcoming families from across Holderness to our annual Year 5 and 6 Open Evening – an event that offers prospective pupils and their parents/carers an excellent opportunity to experience first-hand what Withernsea High School has to offer.

Sadly, due to the current situation, we are unable to open our doors to the wider public at this time. However, that doesn’t mean we can’t share elements of our school with you virtually.
