2. What is primary education?
Primary Education covers the age range 4 to 11 and includes
the following types of school:
•
Primary schools admit children aged from 4 to 11 years.
The year groups are from Reception year to year 6.
•
Infant schools admit children aged from 4 to 6 years.
The year groups are from Reception year to year 2.
As Infant schools do not admit children for year 3 and
above, parents of children in Infant schools will need
to apply for a year 3 place at either a Junior or Primary
school when their child reaches year 2 – See section 11
for more details.
•
Junior schools admit children aged from 7 to 11 years.
The year groups are from year 3 to year 6.
3. When can my child start school?
An academic year runs from September in one calendar year
to August of the following calendar year. Children who are
born between 1 September 2019 and 31 August 2020 will
normally start school during the school year 2024 to 2025.
Parents do not legally have to send their child to school until
the term in which their child reaches compulsory school age
– the term after their 5th birthday. However, to give as many
children as possible at least eight terms in infant education,
all schools must provide for the admission of all children
from September following their fourth birthday. For summer
born children see section 21, page 19.
4. Will starting school affect my child’s
entitlement to free Early Years education?
All 3 and 4 year olds in England are entitled to 15 hours
of free Early Years education each week for 38 weeks of
the year and this can be used at registered Day Nurseries,
Nursery schools, Pre-schools and childminders. From
September 2017, many families have been able to claim
up to 30 hours per week.
If your child starts school on a part time basis and you would
like to know if they will be entitled to receive/continue to
receive any free entitlement for the remainder of the day,
you should contact the Kent Children‘s Information Services
on 03000 41 23 23 or email kentcfis@theeducationpeople.
org or visit the website www.kent.gov.uk/cfis for further
information.
5. I want to educate my child at home
If you wish to educate your child at home and the child
has never attended school, you do not have to inform KCC,
however it is good practice to do so.
If your child is attending school then you must put it in
writing to the school that you wish to educate your child
at home; the school have a statutory duty to inform KCC of
your decision. Following receipt of your intention to home
educate, a Support & Advice Officer from the Access to
Education team will contact you to discuss the process and
arrange a visit.
The team can be contacted on educationathome@kent.
gov.uk, further information is available at www.kent.gov.
uk/homeeducation.
6. Who is responsible for the admission
arrangements of schools?
Every school in Kent has an admission authority which is
responsible for its admission arrangements. The admissions
arrangements contain details about how the applications
to the school will be prioritised or ranked.
KCC is responsible for the admission arrangements for all
the Community and Voluntary Controlled schools in Kent.
For Voluntary Aided, Foundation and Free schools, the
school’s governing body and for Academies, the Academy
Trust is the admissions authority responsible for admission
arrangements.
You can see what type of school each school is in the
‘Primary schools in Kent’ section. Although some schools
set their own admissions arrangements, KCC coordinates
the admission process of all Primary schools in the County.
This means that instead of applying separately to different
schools, Kent parents apply to KCC naming up to three
school preferences.
Admission to Primary school in Kent 2024

7. How many school places are available?
Intake numbers are reviewed each year to ensure that there
are sufficient places available across Kent for the number of
children expected to apply for places.
All admission authorities have to plan for the number
of children they admit to their schools very carefully. The
Published Admissions Number (PAN) noted on each school
entry in the ‘Primary schools in Kent’ section will show you
the number of children that the school planned to admit
this year. However, since the 2021 Admissions Code was
introduced, schools have been able to decide to increase this
number before offers are made. This is known as offering
in excess of PAN and schools can decide to do this as late as
February each year. While schools can increase the number
of places that they make available, they are not able to
reduce the number during this timescale. As KCC will be
unaware of many schools’ intentions to offer in excess of
PAN, it is not recorded in this book. Please contact schools
you are interested in naming as preferences to see if they
are intending to increase their intake number this year, if
this will be important to your decision-making process.
Since September 2001, the law has said that an Infant
class (Reception, year 1 and year 2) cannot have more
than 30 children with one qualified teacher in a classroom.
The teacher must be a fully qualified teacher and not a
teaching assistant; schools therefore cannot admit above
30 children per class.
8. What are my chances of getting a
place at my first preference school?
You will find the following information about last year’s
Offer Day at the end of each area section of ‘Primary schools
in Kent’ for Community and Voluntary Controlled schools:
•
Published Admissions Number (PAN) or number of
spaces available in reception for Primary and Infant
schools and year 3 for Junior schools. This will not
indicate if a school is planning to offer in excess of PAN;
•
Total number of applications that were received
for each school last year (includes all 1st, 2nd and
3rd preferences and applications from children with
an EHCP);
• Total number of offers, how many combined offers
were made under the Looked After Children, sibling
and health and special access criteria and the number
of offers that were made under the school’s distance
criteria;
•
Last distance that the lowest ranked child that was
offered lived from the school in miles;
• That KCC is the admissions authority.
Please be aware, for Community and Voluntary Controlled
schools, the distance of the last child offered (under the
distance criterion) can change from year to year depending
on the number of children that applied and where the
children lived. Whilst you may live closer to the school than
the distance given for the last child, it does not necessarily
mean that your child would be offered a place this year.
You will find the following information for Voluntary
Aided, Foundation, Free schools and Academies:
•
Published Admissions Number (PAN) or number of
spaces available in reception for Primary and Infant
schools and year 3 for Junior schools. This will not
indicate if a school is planning to offer in excess of PAN;
•
Total number of applications that were received for
each school last year (includes all 1st, 2nd and 3rd
preferences and applications from children with
an EHCP);
•
Total number of offers made;
• Last distance that the lowest ranked child that was
offered lived from the school in miles;
•
That the school is its own admissions authority.
As Voluntary Aided, Foundation, Free schools and
Academies can have more complex over-subscription
criteria, please contact them directly if you need help to
work out which criteria your child is likely to qualify for or
read their admissions criteria at Admissions criteria 2024/25
- Kent County Council.
For Voluntary Aided, Foundation, Free schools and
Academies you should take into account the criterion under
which your child will be placed under and speak to the
school for further information regarding distances from
the school. The lowest ranked child that is offered may live
closer than a child that is ranked against a higher criterion,
so this distance information is for reference only. You can
also ask the Headteacher at any school for information on
how many siblings they think they may have coming to the
school or any other information they feel would be useful.
Whilst you may find this information helpful, the school may
not have a complete picture of who will apply and it does
not guarantee your child a place.
Some third-party websites offer parents an indication of
their chances of securing a school place. KCC does not
validate the information on these websites and so parents
should exercise caution when making decisions based on
the data that they provide.
Admission to Primary school in Kent 2024

9. Primary Admissions outcomes last year
In September 2023 there were 17,390 reception aged
children requesting places across Kent.
For admission to Reception Year, 98.42% of Kent pupils got
a place at one of the schools named as a preference with
90.09% getting an offer of a place at their first preference
school.
For admission to Year 3 (Junior school), 99.95% of pupils
got a place at one of the schools named as a preference
with 99.85% of pupils getting an offer of a place at their
first preference school.
10. How to apply for your child to start at
an Infant or Primary school in Reception
When you know which schools you are interested in, you
will need to make a Reception Common Application (RCAF)
either using the online process available at www.kent.
gov.uk/ola or by contacting kentonlineadmissions@kent.
gov.uk for an alternative method. You should complete the
application by naming up to three schools; putting them in
order of preference with the one you would like most as first.
Only one application can be accepted per child and this
application can be made by either a parent or guardian
with parental responsibility for the child. If more than
one application is received for a child, parents/guardians
will be contacted and asked to agree in writing which
application should be used. Where both parents retain
parental responsibility for the child, it is not the role of
the Local Authority to decide which application to use.
Where agreement cannot be reached, both applications
will be withdrawn, and the child will not be offered a place
on Tuesday 16 April 2024.
Where a Court proceeding is sought to decide which
parent’s application should be used, the Admissions Team
will require a full copy of any Court Order before any
application will be accepted. Parents should be mindful of
key deadlines when taking this approach as no extensions
will be granted for any delays that may arise.
Applications for Children in Care should be made by the
assigned Social Worker of the Local Authority that is the
Corporate Parent.
KCC collects admissions applications and related data items
from parents in order to fulfil the legal obligations laid out
in the School Standards and Framework Act (1998) and the
current School Admission Code (2021). In order for Local
Authorities (LA) to fulfil these duties, the Department for
Education (DfE) defines what data each LA must collect,
how it must be referred to and what limitations (if any) are
placed on its collection. These requirements are available
in the Common Basic Data Set, which can be found on
www.gov.uk.
Current DfE admissions guidance requires LAs to collect
what it refers to as the child’s “gender” and allows for the
collection of either Male (M) or Female (F) exclusively.
KCC will be required to continue to request that admissions
applicants confirm the child’s gender and provide Male or
Female as the only available options until such a time as
the DfE updates the Common Basic Data Set.
Where applications are made for transgender and non-
binary gender pupils, parents are advised to discuss their
application with their preferred schools to agree the most
appropriate way to identify their child using the options
that are currently available.
Even if you already have an older child at the school,
you MUST apply for a place for your younger child.
You will not automatically receive a place because
you already have a sibling there.
When schools rank the children, they will not know if you
have named their school 1st, 2nd or 3rd, they will simply
rank the child against their over-subscription criteria.
Naming only one preference 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. If you name a school multiple times, the duplicates
will be deleted from your form, and you will have lost the
opportunity of naming different preferences.
There is no requirement to name three preferences but
failing to do so increases the likelihood of the local authority
making an offer of a school some distance from your home,
where local schools have been filled with children that used
their full range of preferences.
Parents are advised to consider whether they intend
to apply for transport assistance, when selecting their
preferences, as they will be used when determining their
child’s eligibility. (See section 25 for more information).

When applying online for school places, you will have
to register with the website and create a user account,
selecting your own password. The website will ask you to
verify your account by clicking on the link provided in the
email sent to the email address used to set up the account.
This email is not an application.
Once registered, you can then make an application for
school places either straight away or by logging back in
at a later time, provided it is before the closing date.
An application is only valid if it has been submitted by the
closing date (Monday 15 January 2024).
Once you have submitted your application (RCAF), you
will be sent an email confirming that we have received it.
Please check your spam/junk mail folders for this email
before contacting the Online Team for confirmation.
If the application has not been submitted by a parent/
guardian, KCC will be unable to process it.
KCC will not take any responsibility in checking the content
of an application.
It is the parents’/guardian’s responsibility to ensure that:
• they are selecting the correct school for each
preference;
• the application states if the child will have a sibling in
the school or a linked school in September 2024 and
must provide the sibling’s full name and date of birth;
• they send any supporting evidence to the relevant
school if they would like to be considered under health
and special access reasons (if applicable);
• they complete and return any Supplementary
Information Form to the relevant school (see below).
Please contact the admissions team if your circumstances
change significantly or you wish to change your application
after it has been submitted.
The closing date for applications is Monday 15 January 2024.
If you require any help or assistance in applying
online, contact the Online Admissions Team via email
kentonlineadmission[email protected]v.uk (emails will be replied
to during work hours of 9-5).
If any of the schools you have expressed a preference for
is an Academy, Voluntary Aided, Foundation or Free school
you may also be asked to complete another form called a
Supplementary Information Form (SIF). This form is used
by the schools to rank your child against their over-
subscription criteria.
You only need to fill in a SIF if you wish for your child to be
considered against the over-subscription criteria the school
is collecting information about.
Schools that may require a SIF will be identified in the school
details pages. You should return this form to the school and
not to KCC.
The SIF is not the official KCC application form and you must
still complete an RCAF naming the school otherwise your
child will not be considered for a place at that school.
If you have applied for an Infant School, please be aware that
you will need to apply for your child to transfer to a Junior
School (from Year 2 to Year 3). The application process will
open in the November of your child’s Year 2 school year.
11. I am applying for an Infant school.
What happens when my child is due to
transfer to Junior school?
Parents can only apply for Junior schools, as Primary schools
will fill their year 3 places with their year 2 pupils. If you do
not apply through this process, then your child WILL NOT
have a place at the Junior school the following September
as there is no automatic transfer between schools.
If the Infant school your child attends is linked to a Junior
school and you do not wish your child to go there you can
name other Junior schools when completing the Junior
Common Application Form (JCAF). Information on linked
schools can be found on page 103.
Parents can express a preference for up to three Junior schools.
If you do not wish your child to go to a Junior school and
would rather apply for a Year 3 place at a Primary school,
you must contact the school and complete an In Year
Admissions Form or download one at www.kent.gov.uk/
primaryadmissions.
Admission to Primary school in Kent 2024

12. What if I miss the closing date for
applications?
KCC will be able to amend applications if asked to do
so no later than Friday 9 February 2024 with regard to
house moves or changes of schools relating to house
moves provided you have an exchange of contracts with
completion date or a signed rental agreement for the new
property. It will not be possible to submit these changes
online. Parents should email kentonlineadmissions@kent.
gov.uk with the details of their required amendment,
ensuring that they use the email account they used to
register. Unfortunately, it will not be possible to make any
amendments beyond this date.
Whilst the closing date for KCC to receive applications is
Monday 15 January 2024, applications that are submitted
no later than Friday 9 February 2024 for a good reason
will be treated as “on time” if it is reasonably practicable to
accept them. These applications must be received no later
than Friday 9 February 2024.
Applications received after Friday 9 February 2024 but
before Tuesday 30 April 2024 will not receive a school
offer on Tuesday 16 April 2024. KCC will consider these
reallocation applications with applicants that have joined
a school’s waiting list on the reallocation date of Tuesday
23 May 2024. If none of the schools you have expressed a
preference for on a reallocation application can be offered
to you, KCC will offer you an alternative school. We will also
advise you on your right to appeal against this decision and
place you on the waiting list of any schools you named that
were a higher preference than the school you were offered.
After Thursday 23 May 2024 you can request to go on any
school’s waiting list and if places become available, schools
will offer directly to parents. KCC will not make any further
offers.
Applications made after Tuesday 23 May 2024 should be
made directly to the school.
Parents who have already received an offer of a school place
from KCC should apply using an In Year Application Form
(IYAF) available at www.kent.gov.uk/primaryadmissions.
These applications will be treated in a similar way to In Year
Applications (details on page 22). This should result in an
offer without delay, where spaces are available.
Parents who are applying to Kent for the first time should
use a Post Reallocation Common Application Form (PRCAF).
These applicants should submit this form to KCC who will
support parents to ensure a school offer is made. Parents
should go to kent.gov.uk/primaryadmissions closer to the
time for more information.
13. Help for Children with Additional/
Special Educational Needs/Education,
Health and Care Plan
Education and Children’s Social Services, together with
Health Care Professionals work jointly to identify and
support children with additional and special educational
needs as early as possible. This means pupils may have been
identified as having additional/special educational needs
before they enter school.
My child has Additional/Special Educational Needs.
How do I apply for Primary school places?
In most cases you should apply for a Primary school place
using the process explained in this book. However if your
child has an Education Health & Care Plan (EHCP) or will
have one by Monday 15 January 2024, then you should
be in contact with your local SEN Office (see page 2) as the
process you will need to use for a Primary school place will
be different.
If your child is going through statutory assessment you
should not assume an EHCP will be issued at the end of
that assessment period. You should therefore apply for a
school place at Primary school as described in this book.
If you fail to do so and your child does not receive an
EHCP you may not get a place at a school of your
preference as all the places may be filled.
Do all Primary schools provide support for children with
Additional/Special Educational Needs?
Yes, schools provide a broad and balanced curriculum
and supportive framework to enable most children with
additional/special educational needs to be included
in mainstream schools. You will find in every school’s
individual prospectus a statement on how they support
pupils with additional and special educational needs.
What support will my child receive when starting school?
When you know where your child will be going to school
you should discuss your child’s needs with the Headteacher
or SENCO. This will help the school determine how they can
best support your child.
Admission to Primary school in Kent 2024
11
My child does not have additional/special educational
needs, but does need extra help when at school.
How do I get this for my child?
Many children require additional help either in specific
subject areas, or socially/emotionally at some point in their
school career, and these needs are identified through the
monitoring of children’s progress at school. If you have
concerns about your child’s needs, please discuss these
with the school. In the same way, the school will discuss
with you any concerns it has about your child’s progress.

14. How will places be offered?
KCC will make sure every child in Kent who has submitted
a KCC Primary Common Application Form (RCAF) gets
ONE offer.
The Primary Admission scheme is an Equal Preference
Scheme, which means that all of the schools you express
a preference for will consider your child for a place.
The schools will not take into account whether you have
placed them as a 1st, 2nd or 3rd preference as KCC does
not provide them with this information. Every child who
applies on time will be sent an offer of a school on
Tuesday 16April 2024.
You can name up to three Infant or Primary schools on a
RCAF. You should put the school that you would like most
first. You do not receive a higher priority for a place at a
school because you have named it as your first or only
preference or named it more than once.
In February, after data checks have been completed, KCC
will send a list to each school detailing children who have
applied for a place at their school. The list will contain the
child’s name, date of birth, their address, a parent’s name,
the straight-line distance (as provided by KCC’s measuring
software) between the home and the school and any
comments that the applicant has placed on the form as to
the reason why they wish to be considered for a place at
that particular school.
Admission to Primary school in Kent 2024
12
All schools have an over-subscription criteria which are
a set of rules used when they receive more applications
than places available. Schools then place applications into
criteria which then generates a priority order. Schools will
only take into account any reasons that parents may have
provided if it relates to the schools’ criteria.
For Community and Voluntary Controlled schools, the
over-subscription criteria is detailed below.
As Academies, Voluntary Aided, Foundation and Free
schools are their own admissions authority, their
admissions criteria may be different from the Community
and Voluntary Controlled schools. You can find the schools’
criteria at www.kent.gov.uk/admissionscriteria in the
‘Admissions criteria 2024/25’ section or directly from the
schools website. It is important to look carefully at these
criteria as it will help you determine which criterion your
application may be ranked under.
Please note: where a school fails to provide a description
of their over-subscription criteria, KCC’s over-subscription
criteria will be used.
Once the schools have determined an order of priority for
the applications, KCC will use a computer program that will
finalise offers.
If only one of the three schools can offer your child a place,
then KCC will offer you a place at that school. If more than
one of your three preferred schools could offer your child
a place, KCC will offer a place at the school you named
highest on your application. The lower preference school(s)
will then be offered to another child. If none of your
preferred schools can offer you a place because there were
other children who were given a higher priority for the
place(s) than your child when the over-subscription criteria
was applied, KCC will allocate an alternative school that
has available places. Where the application is for Junior
transfer, this alternative place may be in a Junior school or
a Primary school.
Whilst this school may not be one of your preferences, KCC
has a legal obligation to offer every child a school place.
KCC will try to make this the nearest school to your home
with available places. This school may be some distance
from your home as KCC can only offer a place at a school
that has spaces remaining once all other applications have
been considered. The allocation that is made will not take
into account any of your child’s individual circumstances
or your preferences for a particular type of school e.g.
a church school, size of school, childcare facilities or
travelling arrangements.
The criteria for Community and Voluntary Controlled
schools (with the exception of St Peters CE Primary School,
Tunbury Primary School and Whitfield Aspen Primary
School) are:
• children in Local Authority care or previously in Local
Authority care;
• attendance at a linked school (only relevant to infant
and Junior schools where they are linked – See table
on page 103 for details);
• current family association (sibling);
• health, social and special access reasons;
• nearness of children’s homes to school.
The criteria for St Peters CE Primary School are:
• children in Local Authority care or previously in
Local Authority care;
• current family association (sibling);
• health, social and special access reasons;
• children who live in the unparished area of
Tunbridge Wells (map available at kent.gov.uk/
primaryadmissions);
• nearness of children’s homes to school.
The criteria for Tunbury Primary School are:
• children in Local Authority care or previously in
Local Authority care;
• current family association (sibling);
• children who live within a 0.5 mile radius of the school;
• children who live in the Parish of Aylesford or Boxley
and who are also within a 1.5 mile radius of the school
(map available at kent.gov.uk/primaryadmissions);
• health, social and special access reasons;
• nearness of children’s homes to school.
The criteria for Whitfield Aspen Primary School are:
• children in Local Authority care or previously in
Local Authority care;
• current family association (sibling);
• health, social and special access reasons;
• nearness of children’s homes to nearest of Mayfield
Road or Archers Court Road site.
When ranking children, schools WILL NOT TAKE into
account:
• how long your child’s name has been registered at a
school;
Admission to Primary school in Kent 2024
13
• if your child attends a nursery class on the school site or
if the nursery is affiliated with the school (unless this is a
published aspect of a school’s admission arrangements);
• if the nursery takes children into the school or classrooms
for any social activities or the child knows the teachers
through visiting the school;
• if your child attends a playgroup or preschool nearby or
on the school site;
• any previous association you or your extended family
may have had with the school either by attending it or
by participating with any of the school’s activities;
• how long you may have lived in the area or a parent’s
intention of moving into the area in the future;
• a parent’s particular reason for expressing a preference
for the school, for example the presence of breakfast or
after school clubs, activity clubs for sports or music, if any
of the child’s friends will be going to the school, unless it
is a published aspect of that school’s over-subscription
criteria;
• any plans regarding childcare arrangements that you
may make for a particular school.
15. What do these criteria mean?
Children in Local Authority care or previously
in Local Authority care
A child in Local Authority care or previously in Local
Authority care is a child who is either in the care of the
Local Authority or is being provided with accommodation
by a Local Authority in the exercise of their social services
functions under Section22(1) of the Children Act 1989 or a
child who ceased to be so because they became subject
to an adoption, child arrangement order, or special
guardianship order.
An adoption order is an order under Section 46 of the
Adoption and Children Act 2002. A child arrangement
order is an order settling the arrangements to be made
to the person with whom the child is to live under Section
8 of the Children Act 1989. Section 14A of the Children
Act 1989 defines a ‘special guardianship order’ as an order
appointing one or more individuals to be a child’s special
guardian/guardians.
A previously looked after child means such children who
were adopted but immediately after being looked after
became subject to an adoption, child arrangements, or
special guardianship order including those who appear
to have been in state care outside of England and ceased
to be in state care as a result of being adopted.
A child is regarded as having been in state care outside of
England if they were in the care of or were accommodated
by a public authority, a religious organisation, or any other
provider of care whose sole or main purpose is to benefit
society.
If you apply under this criterion, you will need to provide
evidence to the Primary Admissions team to show that
your child qualifies. When online, please send copies of
your evidence separately to primaryadmissions@kent.
gov.uk including your child’s name, date of birth and
home address. If you do not supply evidence, it will not be
possible to process your application under this criterion.
Attendance at a linked school
This is where there is a link (used for admissions purposes)
between a particular Infant school and a particular Junior
school. Children who are attending the Infant school are
given priority for admission to the relevant Junior school.
A list of linked Infant and Junior schools can be found on
page 103.
Current family association
A current family association means that the child who is
applying for a place will have a brother or sister (sibling)
attending the same school when they start there, and
they live at the same address. KCC count linked Infant and
Junior schools as one school. Brothers and sisters means
children who live as brother and sister in the same house,
including natural brothers or sisters, adopted siblings,
stepbrothers or sisters and foster brothers or sisters.
The sibling claim will stand if the family have continued
to live at the same house as when the older sibling was
admitted into the school or, if:
• the family have moved, and they have moved to
within 2 miles of the school;
• if the family have moved nearer to the school from
where they were living previously.
If siblings from multiple births (e.g. twins, triplets etc)
apply for a school and the school reaches its published
admission number after admitting one or more, (but not
all) of the children, KCC will offer a place at that school
to all of the multiple birth siblings. This is in line with
the School Admissions Code and if doing so will take
the school above its published admission number and
possibly result in breaching class size legislation, the
children are to be treated as ‘excepted’ pupils.
Admission to Primary school in Kent 2024
14
Whilst linked Infant and Junior schools are considered to
be the same school for this criterion, if sibling priority has
previously been lost (as above), it will not be reinstated
when a child transfers from an Infant school to the linked
Junior school.
Where a child is transferring from year 2 and would not
be attending the Infant school from the start of the
academic year, but applied for the linked Junior school,
the sibling link would not be broken for a child applying
for the Infant school.
If your child secures an offer of a place at the school on
Tuesday 16 April 2024, sibling priority will apply to any
of their siblings that apply for a place through the In Year
process or who are on the school’s waiting list up to the
start of the September 2024 term, even though the offered
child will not have started school yet.
A sibling link is broken when:
• Unfortunately, if your older sibling is currently attending
school in Year 6, you cannot claim a sibling link for your
younger child, as the older sibling will be transferring to
secondary school in September 2024.
• You have moved, further than 2 miles from the school,
than the address that the sibling was admitted to the
school with.
• Once a sibling link has been broken, sibling priority
will be permanently lost for that child regardless of any
further address moves a family may make in the future.
Health, social and special access reasons (medical)
Medical, health, social and special access reasons will be
applied in accordance with the school’s legal obligations,
in particular those under the Equality Act 2010. Priority
under health and special access reasons will be given
to those children whose mental or physical impairment
or social need means they have a demonstrable and
significant need to attend a particular school.
Equally, this priority will apply to children whose parent’s/
guardian’s physical or mental health or social needs
means that they have a demonstrable and significant
need for their child to attend a particular school.
In most circumstances, an applicant should only apply
for a single school under this criterion. Placing the
same evidence for more than one of your preferred
schools will only establish that more than one school
can accommodate your child’s needs. If you feel your
circumstances support applying for more than one school,
please discuss it with the Primary Admissions team, who
can also provide any other advice required by parents
who wish to apply under this criterion.
Please note that social needs does not include your
intended or current childcare arrangements.
All claims will need to be supported by written evidence
from a suitably qualified medical or other practitioner.
This should demonstrate a special connection between
these needs and the particular school that parents feel
can accommodate these needs.
This must be sent directly to the school before Monday
15 January 2024 for the school to consider the evidence.
Without this evidence when schools are ranking children in
accordance with their over-subscription criteria, they cannot
take your needs into account.
Nearness of children’s homes to the school
For many applications, this last criterion is the most
important one, as those children who are living nearer
to the school usually get a higher priority for places
than children who live further away. It is therefore very
important that when you complete your RCAF/JCAF,
you give us your correct address for admissions
purposes as in Section 16.
You can find more information about what address you
should use in the next section.
Maps and internet based measuring tools will give you
an indication of the distance from your address to a
school, however, this is only an indication. The distance
provided by KCC’s measuring software will be used for
all applications to ensure they are treated in a consistent
manner. KCC’s measuring software is updated each year
with the latest address point data provided by the National
Land and Property Gazetteer (NLPG). Where applications
are made from new build properties that are not registered
to the NLPG, KCC may be required to temporarily use
planning co-ordinates.
The address point reference we have for your property
is taken as one end of a straight line, with the address
point reference for the school as the other. The same
address point on the school site is used for everybody.
When we apply the distance criterion for an oversubscribed
Community or Voluntary Controlled schools, these straight
line measurements are used to determine how close each
child’s address is to the school.
Admission to Primary school in Kent 2024
15
KCC does not specify where the point will be for each
property. This means that address points are not necessarily
taken from each property’s front door, a central point or
any other defined point. The address point is the location
recorded in our software for your home and it may fall
anywhere within your property boundary.
A block of flats has a single address point reference, so
applicants living in the same block will be regarded as
living the same distance away from a school. In the unlikely
event that two or more children have equal eligibility for
the last available place at the school, the names will be
issued a number and drawn randomly to decide which
child should be given the place.
Where a new build housing development requires a
new school or the significant enlargement of an existing
school the ‘nearness’ of schools criterion may allow for a
catchment area (defined by a map) to be created for the
relevant school. This must be included in the Statutory
Public Notice, admissions determination and will be valid
for a period not exceeding three rounds of admissions.
Parents should contact schools to enquire if a catchment
area has been defined.
TThe distance in relation and Ramsgate Arts Primary
School (DfE 2064) are used differently in their
Admissions Criteria. Please contact the schools directly
to discuss how they use the distances provided.
16. What address should I use on
my application?
A child’s home address is defined as a residential property
that is the child’s main or only residence. It must be the
residence of both the parent/guardian and the child on
Monday 15 January 2024, the deadline for submitting
your application. If you apply before the closing date, you
must ensure you will still be living at that address on the
closing date.
The property should be either owned by the child’s
parent or guardian, or leased/rented under a formal
written lease/rental agreement of no less than 12 months’
duration. If your circumstances mean that it is not
possible to secure a 12 month lease/rental agreement
contact the Admissions team for further assistance:
[email protected]v.uk.
KCC reserves the right to check information that parents
give on their child’s application form. When you receive
the offer of a school place from KCC, you will be asked
to provide the school with evidence that you and your
child live at the address used on the application.
This evidence can be, for example, a utility bill, bank or
credit card statement, Council tax bill or any other formal
documents that would show you were living at your
address at the closing date for applications. The evidence
you supply should be dated within the application window
of Friday 3 November 2023 – Friday 9 February 2024.
You must also provide the school with evidence to show
your child was also living at this address at the same time.
This evidence could be, for example, a bank statement in
the name of the child, a hospital or doctor’s appointment
letter or formal document. This is not an exhaustive list
and the school, or Local Authority reserves the right to
request further documentation if it considers the evidence
provided insufficient to prove that you were living at the
application address.
Parents should also be aware that schools may wish to
collect their own information when you return your address
evidence and may request to see additional documentation
such as a child’s short form birth certificate. It is also likely
that schools will ask you to complete their own induction
documentation.
If you do not provide address evidence, or if you provide
insufficient evidence to confirm your address, the offer
may be withdrawn even after your child has started at the
school. The vacant place would then be offered to the
child who had been disadvantaged on Tuesday 16 April
2024 and was effectively displaced by your application at
that time.
Where your living arrangements are more complex, it is
important that you use the main address your child lives
at when applying for a school place. If you use an address
that is later found to be incorrect for the admissions
process, your school offer may be withdrawn even if you
can evidence that you own or had access to that property.
It can take an extended period of time to complete
investigations into misleading applications and parents
may find that they have missed deadlines to join
school waiting lists or appeal once their offer has been
withdrawn. KCC does not provide a timescale by which
these investigations will be completed and school places
can be withdrawn as late as the end of the first term, even
if the child has already started school. Parents will be
responsible for finding another school place in the event
that their school offer is withdrawn.
Admission to Primary school in Kent 2024
16
Please find below some examples of situations that will
require you to determine which address to use. If your
specific situation is not listed below, or you are unsure on
which address you should be using, you should contact
the Primary Admissions team for further assistance by
emailing primaryadmissions@kent.gov.uk.
Shared residency
KCC an only accept one address on the RCAF/JCAF and
if your child lives at two different addresses during the
week because of joint residency or another formal living
arrangement, we will regard the child’s home address
as the one at which they sleep for the majority of school
nights (Sunday to Thursday) in the first academic year.
KCC will use community school term dates to calculate
this split, excluding school holidays. In the unlikely event
that a child spends an equal number of days at both
addresses, KCC will use the address that is closest to the
school that is named as the child’s first preference.
In no other circumstance should an address be used
simply because it is closer to a school of your preference.
You should not use any other address at which your child
may stay during the school week such as at a friend’s,
grandparent’s or child minder’s home.
Where parents are seeking agreement on their child’s
application through the courts, it would be helpful to
ensure any related court order makes clear which parent
has the overall right to apply and where necessary, which
preferences can be named. A court order cannot vary
KCC’s prescribed address requirements, nor can it compel
a school to offer a place outside of the co-ordinated
admissions process. This means a court decision is limited
to what school preferences an application can include,
not which school will ultimately offer a child a place.
KCC admissions team are not able to resolve parental
disputes and we would expect both parties to come to
a sensible agreement. If no agreement is reached neither
application for the child can be processed.
Address proof will be required for the address used on the
application after offers are made. If the address proof for
both the applicant and the child is not sufficient then the
school offer may be withdrawn.
If you are unsure which address to use if your child does
stay at two addresses, please contact the Admissions team
for advice at primaryadmissions@kent.gov.uk.
Multiple property ownership
Depending on your circumstances, there is a possibility
that you own or have access to a property closer to a
school that you’re interested in, but live at a property that
you own or have access to elsewhere. Please be aware
that you should not use the closer address unless you
and your child are actually living in it and it is your main
residence as defined above.
Temporary address
You should not use an address that has been rented,
moved into or lived in on a short term basis in addition
to your regular ‘home’ because of temporary personal
circumstances, such as, works being carried out to the
main family residence, or living temporarily with family
or friends at another home. If your circumstances have
meant you have had no choice but to temporarily move
to or remain living in another property, you should
inform the Primary Admissions team, by emailing
primaryadmissions@kent.gov.uk when you apply. Your
email should advise them of the reasons why and provide
evidence to support your circumstances. The team will
advise you which address you should use, but in most
circumstances it will be the address that you will be living
in at the point your child starts school.
Home move
Parents should be aware that moving during the
application window will likely complicate your admissions
process and, in many circumstances, significantly
reduces your chances of securing a place at a school of
your preference. Parents are therefore advised to pay
special attention to key dates in the admissions process
and wherever possible, organise your affairs to ensure
address changes are made within admission’s deadlines.
It is understood that this is not always possible, however,
KCC has no discretionary authority to vary the process for
parents who cannot complete address moves in time to
make use of them for admissions purposes.
If you are thinking of moving but have not yet seen a
property to rent or buy, then you should complete a RCAF
or JCAF using your current address. You should then
decide if you wish to use some of your available school
preferences to apply for schools in the area you wish to
move to. If you name schools that are in the area that
you wish to move to, but you are not living there, there
is an increased likelihood that you would not receive an
offer at one of those schools as places could be offered to
applicants that live nearer. You should therefore consider
using some of your preferences to name schools near your
current address. You will have a higher chance of securing
a school near to your current address, which will offer
some security in case your move falls through.
Admission to Primary school in Kent 2024
17
The closing date for applications is Monday 15 January
2024, however if you are moving during the admissions
application window, we will be able to amend your
application to reflect your new address if this is received
no later than Friday 9 February 2024. All parents must
therefore inform the Primary Admissions team if their
home address changes between Monday 15 January
2024 and Friday 9 February 2024.
We would advise you to initially apply from your current
address in case your move falls through. Once you have
the appropriate documentation confirming an exchange
of contracts with a completion date or signed rental
agreement/lease, send it to the Admissions team on
kentonlineadmission[email protected]v.uk and we will amend
your application to reflect your new address.
In most circumstances, it would be expected that you
would move in before the offer day on Tuesday 16 April
2024. If you are submitting a reallocation application, the
expectation is that you would move into the property
by reallocation day, Thursday 23 May 2024. If you have
purchased a new build property, this deadline can be
extended until Friday 30 August 2024 as a reflection of
the fact that completion dates can change unexpectedly.
This provision will only apply where houses are being
built as part of a large scale development, not a personal
project undertaken by an individual.
If you are not resident in the property by these dates,
the offer of a school place may be withdrawn, so it is
imperative you inform the Admissions team if you think
you are unlikely to be living in the address by that time.
If you are moving due to a house exchange or renting a
property from a Housing Association or private landlord,
the letter that you receive confirming the date you can
move in and your agreement to rent that property will be
considered as proof of moving. KCC cannot accept a letter
offering a property for you to view as proof of moving.
If you do not exchange contracts with a completion
date or have a signed rental agreement/lease until after
Friday 9 February 2024, KCC will not be able to make any
amendments to your application, but will use your new
address for correspondence purposes. Please be aware of
this deadline as no exceptions will be allowed under any
circumstances.
Any residential move which takes place between the
closing date for applications and the end of the first school
term may be investigated to establish if a parent has
misrepresented their living arrangements for the purpose
of securing a school place outside of the family’s intended
residential area. If the Admission Authority consider this to
be the case it may consider the application at the time to
have been misleading and may withdraw the school place
even after the child has started at school.
Armed Forces/Crown Servants
If you are a member of His Majesty’s Armed Forces or a
Crown Servant and are being posted back to the UK, you
may use a UK address that you own or name a HM Forces
Station/Base as a home address even though you may not
be resident at the time of application. KCC must also receive
an official government letter (e.g. MOD, FCDO or GCHQ)
declaring a relocation date and confirming the intended
address. The law allows for KCC to use this address as your
family’s main residence even though you may not be
resident at the address or even in the country. However, it
does not guarantee you a place at your preferred schools.
For further information, please contact the Primary
Admissions team.
17. I live in Kent. Can I apply for a
school outside Kent?
If you would like your child to attend a school outside of
Kent e.g. in the Medway, East Sussex, Surrey, Bexley areas,
then you should complete the Kent RCAF/JCAF naming
the school with your other preferences. You can name a
mixture of Kent schools and schools outside the county
or just name schools outside the county. Your application
details and non-Kent preferences will be passed onto
to the relevant local authority for processing. The offer
of a school place, whether it is a Kent school or a school
outside the county, will be sent to you by KCC as this is
your local authority.
18. I live outside Kent. Can my child
be considered for a Kent school?
Your child will be considered for admission on the same
basis as those living in Kent provided you name the school
on your home authority’s application form. Your home
authority will pass the information relating to the Kent
preferences to KCC for processing. It may or may not be
possible to offer you a place at your preferred Kent school,
however your offer will be sent by your home authority.
What to do if you are not in England:
While the DfE have indicated that local authorities have the
option to accept applications from families who are not
currently in the England, it is still necessary for all applicants
to fulfil the address requirements outlined in section 16.
Admission to Primary school in Kent 2024
18
This ensures that pupils currently resident in Kent and those
intending to return are treated in a consistent manner.
As some families own or are able to access more than one
property, KCC’s admissions process is clear on what can be
considered a child’s address from an admissions perspective.
These requirements ensure that applications can only be
made from a single address so that families are not able to
undermine the key principle of the co-ordinated admissions
process, which is to ensure a child cannot be offered a place
at more than one school to the detriment of other applicants.
Where an address does not meet these requirements it
cannot be considered for admissions purposes, which may
limit KCC’s ability to process a related application.
It is understood it is not always possible to arrange home
moves to align with the school admissions process,
however, it is similarly not possible to remove any negative
impact a family may face if they are not able to use a
preferred address as a result. This effect is felt equally by
parents moving within the England or even within an LA’s
boundaries during the admissions timeframe, so parents
moving back to England are not being treated any less
favourably than others in similar circumstances.
The School Admissions Code provides additional provisions
for families of Crown Servants and Her Majesty’s Armed
Forces which are detailed on page 18.
19. When will I hear if my child has
been offered a place?
KCC will inform parents about offers of school places on
Tuesday 16 April 2024. Parents that have provided an email
address will be sent an email offer after 4pm. All other
applicants will be sent a letter posted first class on this day.
Some email providers may delay delivering the messages
to account holders – parents should check their spam/
junk mail folders before contacting the Online Admissions
Team. KCC has no control over email delivery times once
they have left our servers. All online applicants can also
log back on to their online applications after 5pm and
view their school offer.
PLEASE ensure that you carefully read all of the email/letter
as this will provide you with additional information on what
to do next. It will provide you with an opportunity to either
accept or refuse the place offered to you, how to request
that your child’s name is placed on the waiting list for any
school you named on your RCAF/JCAF but were not offered,
and it will provide information on how to appeal against
the decision to refuse your child a place at the school.
20. Can my child start full time?
While schools are free to propose phased induction
timetables for new students, they cannot be enforced if a
parent’s preference is for their child to start full-time at the
start of the September term. Similarly, where parents wish
for their child to start on a part-time basis, schools are legally
required to support these requests until a child reaches
compulsory school age. A child reaches compulsory school
age on the prescribed day following his or her fifth birthday
(or on his or her fifth birthday if it falls on a prescribed day).
The prescribed days are 31 December, 31 March, and
31August.
21. Can I defer my child’s entry into
school and if so, for how long?
You have the right to delay your child’s start date (known
as deferred entry), until later in the school year, but not
beyond the beginning of the term after they turn five and
not beyond the beginning of the final term of the school
year in April.
Your child may also start part-time until later in the school
year, but not beyond the beginning of the term after they
turn five.
If you plan to defer your child’s start date until later in
the school year, you must still apply at the usual time for
Primary or Infant school places. You should also speak
to the schools you are applying for, to discuss how you
would like your child to be admitted.
Summer-born children
Children born between 1 April and 31 August are
sometimes referred to as summer born children.
They have the same right to defer entry as any other child.
This means they must start school at the beginning of
the April term if they wish to keep their offer. Summer
born children are not legally required to attend school
until the start of year 1. Where parents wish for their
summer born child to defer entry until the start of year
1, they must refuse their offered place, which may be
offered to a different child, and then reapply through the
In Year process during the last month of Reception year.
Parents of summer born children also have the right to
request that their child be allowed to apply for admission
to Reception the following school year. To do this,
they will need to gain agreement from the admissions
authority of each school they wish to apply for.
To request admission to Reception year outside of the
normal age group, you should contact the Head teacher of
Admission to Primary school in Kent 2024
19
each preferred school as early as possible during the normal
application period for that child’s date of birth. This will
allow the school and admissions authority enough time to
make a decision before the closing date. You are required to
complete an application for the normal point of entry at the
same time, in case your request is declined.
This application can be cancelled if the school’s admissions
authority agrees to accept your request for deferred entry
into reception year the following year.
You are not expected to provide evidence to support your
request to defer your application, but where provided, it
must be specific to the child in question. This might include
medical or Educational Psychologist reports. There is no
legal requirement for this medical or educational evidence
to be secured from an appropriate professional, but failure
to provide it may impede a school’s ability to agree to defer
admission. The Department for Education have confirmed
that they don’t anticipate that, as a general rule, children will
need to delay their admission to school or be educated out
of their age group, purely as a consequence of the Covid-19
outbreak.
Where admission authorities agree to allow a child to
apply for a Reception place the following year, parents
must complete a single application through our
alternative method submit it to the local authority in the
next application window. The written confirmation from
each named school will need to be emailed to the team.
Deferred applications will be processed in the same way
as all applications in the following admissions round, and
offers will be made in accordance with each school’s over
subscription criteria. If none of your preferred schools can
offer you a place as they receive more applications than
places and other children have a higher priority, you will
not be guaranteed a Reception place in an alternative
school, although KCC will attempt to do so wherever
possible.
The Department of Education have advised Local
Authorities that they no longer intend to change
legislation to provide parents with the right to decide
which year their Summer born pupil starts school.
As such, the need to request as outlined above will
remain a requirement and parents of pupils who are
taught out of year group will have to complete a similar
process when their child transfers to Secondary school,
or to Junior school where they currently attend an Infant
school. While guidance advises schools to consider a
child’s current year group when deciding whether to
accept an application out of year group, there are no
legal guarantees that a Secondary or Junior school of
your preference will agree to your request. Parents should
consider this potential possibility carefully before deciding
whether to request admission outside the normal point of
entry at Reception year.
22. Why wouldn’t my child get a place?
A school will rank all the children who have applied for a
place according to it’s over-subscription criteria. If there are
more children than the number of school places available,
then the children who are ranked highest are offered
places until the school reaches its intake or published
admissions number. Ranking children against the school’s
over-subscription criteria ensures that the places are
offered in a fair way as every child is compared against the
same criteria. Inevitably, there will be some children who
do not secure a place in oversubscribed schools.
If you have applied for a school outside of your own local
area, please be aware that the further you are living from
the school, the less likely you are to receive an offer of a
place. It is recommended that you also name a school near
to your home just in case your highest preference schools
are unavailable.
23. When will I hear if my child has been
offered a place from the waiting list?
The offer email that will be sent to parents on Tuesday
16 April 2024 will also contain information on how to join
the Waiting List and how to Acceptance or Refuse the place.
The Online Waiting List form will ask to name the schools
that you wish to join the waiting list for. Please note that at
this stage, you can only join the waiting lists for schools that
you named on your original application. This needs to be
submitted by Tuesday 30 April 2024.
While KCC will allow you to join the waiting list for a school
you named as a lower preference than the school you have
been offered, some other Local Authority’s admissions
processes do not allow this and instead limit waiting list
requests to higher preference schools only. Please contact
the Local Authority of the lower preference school whose
waiting list you wish to join, to check if they will allow
this. In all circumstances, KCC’s waiting list form should be
completed and returned to the KCC’s admissions team.
Do not make waiting list requests directly with an out of
county school or directly to another Local Authority.
Admission to Primary school in Kent 2024
20
You should inform the school whether you wish to accept
or refuse the offer by Tuesday 30 April 2024. KCC will
be informed by schools which parents are accepting
or refusing the places that have been offered to them.
Any places that become available will then be offered
to late applicants and applicants on waiting lists on the
reallocation date of Thursday 23 May 2024.
Parents that have provided an email address will be sent
an email offer after 4pm. All other applicants will be sent
a letter posted first class on this day.
After Thursday 23 May 2024 schools will take ownership
of their waiting lists for the remainder of the reallocation
period and will make offers to children should any places
become available. They will inform KCC whenever an offer
is made. Parents must not have more than one offer of a
school place and must inform schools in writing that they
do not want a previous offer if accepting a new offer.
24. Appeals
If it has not been possible to offer your child a place at
your named preferred schools, you have the right to
appeal against this to an Independent Appeal Panel.
KCC will receive appeals for Community and Voluntary
Controlled schools. Foundation and Voluntary Aided
schools, Academies and Free schools, hear their own
appeals, so will need to be contacted directly.
Appeals must be lodged by Tuesday 14 May 2024.
More information on appeals can be found at
www.kent.gov.uk/primaryadmissions or by
contacting the Primary Admissions team after
National Offer Day Tuesday 16 April 2024.
Appeals can be made online at www.kent.gov.uk/
schoolappeals.
Appeals for Academies, Free, Foundation or Voluntary
Aided schools should be lodged to: The Clerk of the
Governors c/o the school (school address information
is provided in each school section).
You should check with Academies, Free, Foundation and
Voluntary Aided schools before appealing as they may
use their own forms.
Primary Appeals can only be upheld in very limited
circumstances. The law requires that an infant (ie a child in
Reception Year, Year 1 or Year 2) should not be educated
in a class which has more than 30 children per qualified
teacher, so most appeals for admission to Reception at a
Primary or Infant school will be ‘Infant Class Size Appeals’.
As grounds for upholding an appeal of this type are very
limited, the success rate is low, so parents will want to
weigh the effort involved against their chance of success
before embarking on an appeal.
By law, an Independent Appeal Panel hearing an Infant
Class Size appeal must consider the following matters:
a) whether the admission of an additional child/additional
children would breach the infant class limit; AND
b) whether the admission arrangements (including the
area’s co-ordinated admission arrangements) complied
with the mandatory requirements of the School
Admissions Code and Part 3 of the School Standards
and Framework Act 1998; AND
c) whether the admission arrangements were correctly
and impartially applied in the case(s) in question; AND
d) whether the decision to refuse admission was one
which a reasonable admission authority would have
made in the circumstances of the case.
Put more simply, as well as checking whether giving
another child a place will break the law, panels need to
look at whether the admission arrangements for that
school were legal, whether they were applied properly
and whether in the circumstances it was reasonable not
to offer your child a place.
A Panel may only uphold the appeal where:
a) it finds that the admission of additional children would
not breach the infant class size limit; OR
b) it finds that the admission arrangements did not
comply with admissions law or had not been correctly
and impartially applied and the child would have been
offered a place if the arrangements had complied or
had been correctly and impartially applied; OR
c) where it decides that the decision to refuse admission
was not one which a reasonable admission authority
would have made in the circumstances of the case.
Because of this framework, parents’ personal reasons for
wanting the school cannot be taken into account, so even
if you feel very strongly that your child should have a place,
you need to consider whether your appeal fits these grounds.
If you think the law has not been followed you should
contact the admissions team before appealing, so that a
thorough investigation can be carried out. If it is clear that
a school’s admission arrangements did not comply with
Admission to Primary school in Kent 2024
21
the law or were not correctly and impartially applied,
the local authority, in conjunction with the admission
authority may offer places without an appeal hearing.
If you think the decision to refuse your child a place was not
reasonable, check first why the place could not be offered.
To agree an appeal on these grounds a panel must be
satisfied that the decision to refuse to admit the child was
‘perverse in the light of the admission arrangements’ i.e. it
was ‘beyond the range of responses open to a reasonable
decision maker’ or ‘a decision which is so outrageous in
its defiance or logic of accepted moral standards that no
sensible person who had applied his mind to the question
could have arrived at it’. This is highly unlikely to be the case
if the admissions arrangements were lawful and correctly
and impartially applied.
It is likely a panel would consider it entirely reasonable for
a child to be refused a place at their nearest school, if other
children had greater eligibility for the places available, even if
this results in you being offered a school some distance from
your home.
PLEASE BE AWARE that neither schools nor the Local
Authority keep places available for children whose appeals
are upheld – they will be admitted above the school’s
published admissions number as an excepted pupil.
25. In Year Admissions
Applications for a place in a different year group, or to
start at a different time are called In Year Admissions.
In Year applications for Kent school places should be
made direct to schools, using a separate copy of KCC’s
In Year Application Form (IYAF) for each child and each
school applied for.
Kent schools will let you know whether they can offer
a place and will inform KCC about the application and
whether an offer has been made.
Schools will be expected to tell parents within 10 school
days of receiving the application whether they can offer
a place.
If a child has secured a place at a school through the
coordinated admissions process, but has yet to start, they
would still be considered as being on roll when a school
assesses their sibling’s applications against the school’s
over-subscription criteria.
If a school you apply for cannot offer you a place, you will
be told how to appeal and how to put your child’s name
on the school’s waiting list.
Parents of Kent pupils who have applied to schools but
have been unable to secure a place can contact KCC, who
will inform them of schools near to them which may have
places. Parents should approach schools directly to allow
them to secure a place as quickly as possible. If parents
need any support in securing an offer with these schools,
please contact the Kent In Year Admissions Team.
If no school in the local area has places available, the
local authority will support you in finding a school place.
The application may be referred to a local panel under
the Fair Access Protocol (FAP) to identify a suitable school.
If the child is already attending a school in the local area,
no alternative place will be offered.
If you want to apply in year for a place at a school located
in another Local Authority’s area, please contact the In
Year Admissions team for further information.
Parents will be able to obtain information about the
process and copies of the IYAFs from www.kent.gov.uk/
schooladmissions or from any Kent school. Enquiries can
also be made by emailing kentinyearadmissions@kent.
gov.uk.
26. Will I get help with transport
to school?
Most Primary school children live within walking distance
of their schools, however if the school is some distance
from the home, parents can apply for transport assistance.
The schools you select as preferences will have a huge
impact on your likelihood of securing transport assistance,
so please consider if you will need help in getting your
child to school when selecting them. Parents should not
wait, therefore, until the school place has been offered
before considering how they will get their child to school.
In order to qualify, parents would have had to apply
to their nearest appropriate schools on their child’s
admission application form to be considered for
assistance and meet the following criteria:
• children under 8 years old who attend the nearest
appropriate school for transport purposes to their
home can get free travel between home and school if
the school is more than two miles from their home;
• children over 8 years old who attend the nearest
appropriate school for transport purposes to their
Admission to Primary school in Kent 2024
22
home can get free travel between home and school if
the school is more than three miles from their home
Appropriate in this instance relates to:
Age appropriate – attendance at a Primary or Secondary
school;
Ability appropriate – attendance at a mainstream or
special school.
The nearest appropriate school for transport purposes is
the school that is closest to your home via the shortest
available route and that is suitable for the child’s age and
ability when the above criteria are applied. This differs
from the admissions process, which predominantly uses
the straight-line distance between a child’s home and
school. KCC will identify any school that is considered
suitable by the Department for Education to provide
education for the child’s age and ability. This includes all
Academies, Free schools and faith schools, even if a family
is not of the same faith. In some areas of the county, a
child’s nearest appropriate school may be located in
another educational authority, outside of Kent.
When deciding which is the nearest appropriate school
for transport purposes, KCC does not take into account
parents preference for a particular type of school.
This means that children will not automatically receive
transport assistance to any school that may offer them a
place. Where parents name schools outside of their local
area, in most cases it will be their responsibility to ensure
their children can access their preferred school.
Children aged over 8 years – low income families
Children who are entitled to free school meals or whose
parents receive the maximum level of Working Tax Credit
may be eligible for transport assistance. The criteria to
qualify are that the child must attend their nearest school
for transport purposes and live more than 2 miles from
the school.
Proof of receipt of the maximum Working Tax Credit is
asked for and this is usually the form TC602, which is sent
to you by HM Revenue & Customs. For a child who is
entitled to free school meals the proof will be a letter from
KCC’s Awards Department. Transport assistance will be
reviewed annually and parents will be asked for up to date
evidence of receipt of benefits.
Additional information can be found within the Home
to School Transport booklet which can be obtained from
Primary schools, from the Transport Eligibility Team at
Sessions House or downloaded from www.kent.gov.uk/
schooltransport.
Parents can apply online at www.kent.gov.uk/
schooltransport
Vacant Seat Payment Scheme (VSPS)
Children who do not qualify for free transport because
they live less than two/three miles from school or because
they are not attending their nearest appropriate school
for transport purposes can apply for a vacant seat on a
hired school vehicle. The 2023/2024 charge for this is
£450 per year (subject to change).
We offer this scheme annually, so you must re-apply each
year. There is no guarantee that the scheme will always
be available and even if you are offered a seat when you
apply, it may not be possible to offer a seat to you in
subsequent years. Where seats are no longer available,
parents will be given notice until the end of that academic
year, after which they will have to make their own
arrangements.
Parents should also note that these seats cannot be
allocated until all entitled pupils have been processed
and are issued on a first come, first served basis. This
does mean it can take several weeks after the start of
term before a pass is issued. During this time, parents are
responsible for making their own travel arrangements.
School transport and the environment
Using some of the ideas explained below, parents and
their children can help to tackle congestion on the school
run and help to create a cleaner, greener, healthier school
and community.
Walking to school
KCC enjoys a unique partnership with Medway Council
and the Kent and Medway Charity Team in promoting
and encouraging walking to school. The charity organises
a range of activities to help the charitable sector with its
fundraising and supports initiatives to promote health and
wellbeing, particularly amongst Primary school children.
The charity works in partnership with the KM Group,
Kent’s biggest media organization.
Parents can find information about Walking Buses and
walk to school incentive scheme on the charities website
at www.kmwalktoschool.co.uk.
Cycling to school
KCC is actively improving cycle routes across the county.
Further information on cycle routes can be found on
www.kent.gov.uk/cycling.

Kent travel plans
Kent schools have been very successful at producing
Travel Plans to encourage sustainable travel to schools.
You may wish to contact the headteacher of your
school to find out about their actions for encouraging
sustainable travel. You can also view the plan and other
Safer Travel to School information via the Kent School
Database.
Car sharing and buddy schemes
Parents can reduce the cost and time involved in the
school run by sharing cars with friends and neighbours.
For more information about sharing cars in Kent please
visit liftshare.com/uk, or ask your chosen school if they
can match you with parents travelling from the same area.
Responsible parking
Inconsiderate parking and manoeuvring in the vicinity of
school entrances can present a significant safety hazard.
Parents should support their school, other road-users
and local residents by avoiding parking on ‘Keep Clear’
markings and, where possible, park or drop off a safe
distance from the school and encourage children to walk
to the school gates.
KCC work with schools, Kent Police and Local Civil
Enforcement teams to take action against inconsiderate
and dangerous parking. For further information and
access to our online toolkit and resources, please go to
www.responsibleparking.co.uk
27. Other benefits
School meals
The Children and Families Act 2014 places a legal duty on
state-funded schools in England, including Academies
and Free schools, to offer a free school lunch to all pupils
in Reception, year 1 and year 2.
A Primary school main meal will typically cost between
£2.20– £2.60 (subject to change). However, this depends
on the meal choices available. Free school meals are
available for:
• children from families who receive Universal Credit –
if you apply on or after 1 April 2018 your household
income must be less than £7,400 a year (after tax and
not including any benefits you get)
• children from families who can prove that they receive
Income Support, Income Based Job Seeker’s Allowance
or the guaranteed element of Pension Credit;
• children from families who receive Child Tax Credit,
provided they do not receive Working Tax Credit and
have an annual income (as assessed by HM Revenue
and Customs) which does not exceed £16,385 (subject
to change);
• the children of Asylum Seekers who are supported
under part IV of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999
and can provide appropriate documentation from the
National Asylum Support Services.
For further information or advice, ring the contact centre
03000 412121 and ask them to put you through to your
local Awards Team.
28. Can charges be made for school
activities?
Charges cannot be made for the education provided
during school hours. You may, however, be charged for
the cost of materials for subjects such as craft or cookery
if you want your child to bring the finished article home.
You will also be charged if you take up the offer of
individual music tuition at your child’s school.
Many schools arrange activities such as swimming, theatre
visits or excursions which take pupils away from the
classroom during school hours. You will be told about
these in advance and may be invited to make a voluntary
contribution towards their cost. Although your child will
not be left out because you do not make a contribution,
the success of these activities depends on the willingness
of parents to cover the costs.
Most activities which take place out of school hours are
regarded as optional extras for which a charge may be
made. Schools’ individual prospectuses give the times
when school begins and ends. For charging purposes,
the lunch break is considered to fall outside school hours.
Full details of KCC’s charging and remissions policies are
available from schools. Copies may also be inspected
at public libraries. The charging and remission policies
adopted by individual Governing Bodies should be
explained in the individual school prospectus.

29. If your child has a disability
Some children may have a disability within the meaning
of the Equality Act 2010. It is unlawful for a school in
relation to certain activities to treat a disabled child less
favourably than a non-disabled child, without justification.
The activities where a school must take care not to
discriminate unfairly concern admissions, exclusions,
and the provision of education and related services.
A school must make reasonable adjustments to ensure that
it does not treat a disabled child less favourably although
reasonable adjustments do not extend to physical
adaptations or the provision of equipment. A school is
able to justify its actions where it can demonstrate that the
adjustments required are unreasonable.
A disability is defined as a physical or mental impairment
that has a substantial and long term adverse effect on the
person’s ability to carry out day to day activities.
There will be some children who have Statements of SEN
or Education Health and Care Plans (EHCP) who do not fit
this definition but, equally, there will be children who do
not have Statements of SEN or EHCP who are considered
to have a disability.
If you think that your child has been discriminated
against on the grounds of a disability in relation to the
arrangements made for his or her admission, you may
have a right of appeal. Advice is provided at www.gov.uk.
Other admissions information
We understand from latest medical advice that children
with cystic fibrosis should avoid direct contact and not
share classrooms or communal areas, due to the increased
risk of cross infection from one child with cystic fibrosis
to another cystic fibrosis child. Consequently prospective
parents of children with cystic fibrosis are advised to
discuss this with their preferred schools. Smaller schools
may find it difficult to provide the segregation that is
required and may therefore adopt a policy of having only
one child with cystic fibrosis on roll, or in close years, in
order to ensure adequate separation is maintained. For
further advice, in the first instance please contact your
local Cystic Fibrosis Nurse Specialist or Team.
30. Additional information
Private fostering
A privately fostered child is a child under 16 (or 18 if
disabled) who is cared for by an adult who is not a parent,
grandparent, aunt, uncle, step parent (including civil
partnerships), sister or brother where the child is to be
cared for in that person’s home for 28 days or more.
A private foster carer is someone who cares for another
person’s child in their own home such as:
• extended family members (great-aunts, great-uncles,
cousins);
• someone who is called ‘aunt’ or ‘uncle’ but is not related
to the child;
• a friend of the family;
• someone who is not married to the child’s mother or
father but is a partner or ex-partner.
There are many reasons for a child being privately fostered.
It may be because:
• a parent is ill;
• a parent is in prison;
• a parent is going abroad;
• the relationship between the parent and young person
has broken down;
• family crisis or bereavement;
• parent might be studying or working long hours;
• a child has come from another country to study
English privately or at a language school.
The law requires anybody who is privately fostering a child,
or who is intending to do so, to notify social services.
If you are already caring for a child under a private fostering
arrangement you must notify social services immediately.
Social services have a legal duty to make sure that the
welfare of all privately fostered children is safeguarded
and promoted and that they are living in safe and suitable
surroundings.
Social services give advice to parents, private foster carers
and any child who is being privately fostered. Please
contact Specialist Children’s Services on 03000 41 11 11
and ask to speak to someone about a private fostering
arrangement if you need to advise about a proposed
private fostering arrangement or need some advice or
guidance.

Junior schools
How to apply for your child to start
at a Junior school in Year 3
When you know which schools you are interested in,
you will need to make a Junior Common Application
(JCAF), you need to apply either using the online process
available at www.kent.gov.uk/ola or by contacting
kentonlineadmission[email protected]v.uk for an alternative
method. You should complete the application by naming
up to three Junior schools; putting them in order of
preference with the one you would like most as first.
Only one application can be accepted per child and this
application can be made by either a parent or guardian
with parental responsibility for the child. If more than one
application is received for a child, parents/guardians will
be contacted and asked to agree in writing which
application should be used. Where both parents retain
parental responsibility for the child, it is not the role of
the Local Authority to decide which application to use.
Where agreement cannot be reached, both applications
will be withdrawn and the child will not be offered a place
on Tuesday 16 April 2024.
Where a Court proceeding is sought to decide which
parent’s application should be used, the Admissions Team
will require a full copy of any Court Order before any
application will be accepted. Parents should be mindful of
key deadlines when taking this approach as no extensions
will be granted for any delays that may arise.
Applications for Children in Care should be made by the
assigned Social Worker of the Local Authority that is the
Corporate Parent.
Even if you already have an older child at the Junior
school or another child at the linked Infant school, you
MUST apply for a place for your younger child. You will
not automatically receive a place because you already
have a sibling there.
When schools rank the children, they will not know if you
have named their school 1st, 2nd or 3rd, they will simply rank
the child against their over-subscription criteria. Naming only
one preference 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. If you name
a school multiple times, the duplicates will be deleted from
your form and you will have lost the opportunity of naming
different preferences.
There is no requirement to name three preferences but
failing to do so increases the likelihood of the local authority
making an offer of a school some distance from your home,
where local schools have been filled with children that used
their full range of preferences.
DO NOT name any Primary schools on your JCAF as the
form is only used to apply for a Junior school. If you name
a Primary school, this will be deleted from your form and
you will have lost the opportunity of naming a preference.
Please note that if your child already attends a Primary school
and you wish to move your child to a Junior school, your
application will be dealt with as with any other applicant,
but we will not offer an alternative Junior school place if we
cannot meet your preferences.
If you do not wish your child to go to a Junior school and
would rather apply for a Year 3 place at a Primary school,
you must download an In Year Admissions Form at
https://www.kent.gov.uk/education-and-children/
schools/school-places/move-to-a-different-school or
contact your preferred school to request one. Children
who attend Primary school do so from the age of 4, so
any admission into Year 3 would be considered as outside
the normal point of entry to the school. This reduces your
chances of gaining a place at a Primary school, as the
majority, if not all of the Year 3 places will be taken by the
Year 2 classes progressing through the school.
A list of Kent Junior schools can be found on page 103.

When applying online for school places, you will have
to register with the website and create a user account,
selecting your own password. The website will ask you to
verify your account by clicking on the link provided in the
email sent to the email address used to set up the account.
This email is not an application.
Once registered, you can then make an application for
school places either straight away or by logging back in
at a later time, provided it is before the closing date.
An application is only valid if it has been submitted by the
closing date (Monday 15 January 2024).
Once you have submitted your application, you will be sent
an email confirming that we have received it. Please check
your spam/junk mail folders for this email before contacting
the online team for confirmation.
If the application has not been submitted by a parent/
guardian, KCC will be unable to process it.
KCC will not take any responsibility in checking the content
of an application.
It is the parents’/guardian’s responsibility to ensure that:
• they are selecting the correct Junior school for each
preference;
• the application states if the child will have a sibling in
the school or the linked school in September 2023 and
must provide the sibling’s full name and date of birth;
• they send any evidence to the relevant school if they
want priority under health and special access reasons
(if applicable);
• they complete and return any Supplementary
Information Form to the relevant school (see below).
Please contact the Admissions team if your circumstances
change significantly or you wish to change your application
after it has been submitted.
The closing date for applications is Monday 15 January 2024.
If you require any help or assistance in applying
online, contact the Online Admissions Team via email
kentonlineadmission[email protected]v.uk (emails will be replied
to during work hours of 9am-5pm).
If any of the schools you have expressed a preference for is
an Academy, Voluntary Aided, Foundation or Free school
you may also be asked to complete another form called a
Supplementary Information Form (SIF). This form is used by
the schools to rank your child against their over-subscription
criteria. You only need to fill in a SIF if you wish for your child
to be considered against the over-subscription criteria the
school is collecting information about.
Schools that may require a SIF will be identified in the school
details pages. You should return this form to the school and
not to KCC.
The SIF can be obtained from the school and its website
or by going to the ‘Admission criteria 2024/25’ section at
www.kent.gov.uk/admissionscriteria if the school has
provided us with a copy.
The SIF is not the official KCC application form and you must
still complete a JCAF naming the school otherwise your
child will not be considered for a place at that school.
