To apply for a school place, you must follow procedures as outlined on the Kent.gov website as follows;

https://www.kent.gov.uk/education-and-children/schools/school-places/primary-school-places

We would strongly recommend that you make at least three preferences on your form.

The process completes mid January each year when you have to ensure that your application is lodged with Kent County Council.   

In March, we allocate offers based on our Admissions Criteria and return this to Kent County Council, who will issue you places in April each year.  

You have the right to Appeal these decisions. If your child is due to start Primary school in September 2025, you can appeal if you are refused a place at one of your preferred schools on National Offer Day (Wednesday, 16 April 2025). You needed to submit your appeal before Tuesday, 20^th May 2025 for it to be considered by Friday, 18^th July 2025. 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.

For full information regarding the Appeal process please see the Kent County Council page.  

In June we will contact you with full details of a taster morning, where your child is invited into school to spend the morning with us and an evening parent meeting where you will be given full details of the school and meet staff.

For more information, please feel free to contact us. 

 

If you are looking for a school place and your child currently attends another primary school, please telephone to school office on the main line number or drop us an email.    You will need to provide us with your child's full name, their date of birth, current year group and full address with your name and contact number.

If we do not have a current vacancy in the year you require, then you can be placed on our waiting lists.    Should a place become available, we will apply our Admissions Criteria (see document attached to this page) and allocate places in accordance with these criteria.    We are obliged, when making offers, allow applicants 14 days to respond to any offer.   

If you have any queries about the process, please contact the school
