Admissions

Our Admissions Policy can be found at the bottom of this page.

In deciding where you would like your child to go to school, it is really important to find out as much as you can about the schools themselves.  We have therefore created an amazing virtual tour for parents which you can view below. We held tours in school on Monday 6th and Thursday 9th November at 9.30am and 1.45pm which proved very popular.

The local authority (LA) coordinates all admissions for children starting school for the first time and the link below will direct you to the Kent County Council website where you will find all the information that you require. If you have a child in any other year group, and would like to enquire about places, then please do so directly through the school office. 

Applications for children starting Reception in September 2024 open on Friday 3 November 2023 and close on Monday 15 January 2024. If you provided an email address on your application Kent County Council will email you on Tuesday 16 April 2024 after 4pm to tell you which school you have been offered. You can also log in from 5pm on Tuesday 16 April 2024 to view your offer online.

Offer emails will be sent to the email address provided on your application.

If your child is due to start Primary school in September 2024, you can appeal if you are refused a place at one of your preferred schools on National Offer Day (Tuesday, 16 April 2024). You needed to submit your appeal before Tuesday 14 May 2024 for it to be considered by Tuesday 16th July 2024. Any appeals received after this time will be heard within 40 school days from the deadline, or where reasonably possible in line with updated guidance from the Department for Education.

For late applications, appeals should be heard within 40 school days from the deadline for lodging appeals where possible, or within 30 school days of the appeal being lodged where reasonably possible in line with updated guidance from the Department for Education
