Admissions Policy
My child is due to begin Junior School in September
We would love to meet you and your child / dren. Please call school for an opportunity to look around our lovely school, meet the staff and Senior Leadership Team. If you have questions about the admissions process, we will be happy to help.
When do I apply for a place?
Applications for children due to start primary and junior school in the following September closed in January of that year.
You can apply for up to 3 schools, putting them in order of preference. It’s in your best interests to list 3 schools. Naming only one school does not guarantee your child a place at that school or give your child priority for a place over another child, neither does naming a school more than once.
For advice call 03000 41 21 21 or email primaryadmissions@kent.gov.uk.
When do I hear if my child has a place at school?
KCC (Kent County Council) will process applications between January and April.
If you applied online they will have emailed you in April to tell you which school you have been offered.
If you applied by post they will have sent your offer by first class post.
I missed the deadline, what do I do now?
Please call us at the school on 01233 623744 and we will help you. You can also call admissions directly on 03000 412121 or email primaryadmissions@kent.gov.uk.
