School Admissions
The admission arrangements explain how pupils will be admitted, including how many children will be given a place. It also sets out the procedure if the school is oversubscribed.

The criteria for admission to Mountbatten Primary School are:
- Children in public care at the time when preferences are expressed, and those who have previously been looked after.
- Being resident in the catchment area of the school.
- Having a brother or sister who will be attending the school at the expected time of admission
- Geographical, with priority given to those living nearest the school.
Further details are in our Admission Policy below.
Although Mountbatten is an academy and the governing body is the admissions authority, the Local Authority (Hull City Council) continues to be responsible for co-ordinating all admissions and making offers of places.
Children are eligible to start Mountbatten Primary School in Nursery in the term after their 3rd birthday. All Nursery pupils are able to attend for 15 hours each week. Children start school full time in Reception at the start of the school year during which they turn 5.
