Admissions forms
How old should your child be when they start school?
A school year runs from 1st September in one calendar year to 31st August in the next, so children who will reach compulsory school age during the school year 2023/2024 are those born between 1 September 2018 and 31 August 2019.
Primary school applications procedure:
Primary school applications open on 3 November 2023 and close at midnight on the evening of 15 January 2024.
Applications needed to be submitted by 15 January 2024 for your child to be guaranteed an offer of a school place on 16 April 2024.
If you have already submitted your application and need to make any amendments, please contact kentonlineadmissions@kent.gov.uk for further information on what you need to do next.
If you missed the deadline, you can still submit an application for a school place for September 2024. Once you have submitted, you will receive an email confirming when this school place will be offered. Further information can be found on KCC's website
If a parent has applied online they will receive an email after 4pm on 16 April 2024 telling them which school they have been offered. Parents can also log in from 5pm on 16 April 2024 to view the offer online.

Applying for an in-year admission
If your child is already at school and you wish to apply for a school place outside the year of entry (for example, a year 1 or 2 place) please refer to Kent’s in-year admission page for information.
Registering your interest with primary schools
If your child isn’t old enough to start school yet, you may register an interest at any school you want by contacting the school office. When your child is old enough, the school will get in touch with you so that you can collect a booklet and admissions form for that year.
Registering an interest at a school does not give your child priority for a place just because their name has been down longer than any other child.
If you are unhappy with the offer
View the schools website to find out more about it.
If you are still unhappy you can put your child on the waiting list or make an appeal for any of the schools you applied for.
If your child is due to start primary school in September 2024 you can appeal if you are refused a place at one of your preferred schools on National Offer Day (Tuesday 16 April 2024). You must submit an appeal by Tuesday 14th May 2024 to guarantee that your appeal will be considered by Tuesday 16 July 2024. Any appeals received after this time will be heard within 40 school days of the deadline for lodging appeals. For late applications, appeals should be heard within 40 schools days from the deadline for lodging appeals where possible, or within 30 schools days of the appeals being lodged where reasonably possible in line with updated guidance from the Department for Education.
We recommend that you still accept the place your child has been offered. This will not affect your waiting list position or your appeal. It will guarantee your child has a school place if no places become available or if your appeal is unsuccessful.
