Admissions Policy
Admission arrangements for a child to our School are in accordance with those published by the Kent Local Education Authority.
Pupil Admission Number (PAN) Year group :- 60
Pupil Admission Number (PAN) Whole School 420
Process of Admission
- Parents are invited to make an appointment with the Headteacher to look around school.
- New children (4 year olds) are gradually phased in during their first term. Parents will be invited to a pre-school assessment meeting with their teacher within the first two weeks prior to their child starting school.
- We admit children once a year in September when they are four years old. All children therefore enjoy 17 full terms and 1 part-time term before the end of Key Stage 1 (infants).
- In term 6 prior to admission, parents and children have several opportunities, including an Open Day and Familiarisation Day, to meet staff in the Foundation Stage.
Information on the process and the on-line application links can be found on the KCC website. Please follow this link:

Parents of children with a disability are asked to meet with the Inclusion Leader to discuss how best the school can meet the needs of the child.
