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.
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. https://www.kent.gov.uk/education-and-children/schools/school-places/primary-school-places#tab-3 You can make applications from 7 November 2026 for your place.
How to apply - Applications for children starting Reception in September 2027 open on Friday 6th November 2026 and close on Thursday 14 January 2027. If you provided an email address on your application Kent County Council will email you on Thursday 15 April 2027 after 4pm to tell you which school you have been offered. You can also log in from 5pm on Thursday 15 April 2027 to view your offer online. Offer emails will be sent to the email address provided on your application.
Appeals - If your child is due to start Primary school in September 2027, you can appeal if you are refused a place at one of your preferred schools on National Offer Day (15 April 2027). You need to submit your appeal in by Tuesday 18 May 2027 for it to be considered by July 2027, and can only appeal for schools that were named on your original application form. 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.
If you wish to apply under our faith-based criteria you will need to complete an additional form called a Supplementary Information Form (SIF).
