To apply for a firm place at a Primary School for your child for September 2025, you will need to complete an online form called a Common Application Form (RCAF form for short). The application process starts on date TBC November 2024 and closes on date TBC January 2025. You will need to apply at www.kent.gov.uk/ola. 

You will receive an email on date TBC April 2025 after 4pm advising you of your child’s offer. You will then need to inform the school in writing as to whether you will accept the place or not. At this point, you will also need to come to school with proof of address as to the only or main residence of your child. This will need to be in the form of each of these documents:

• Council Tax statement for 2023/24 and 2024/2025 OR
• Signed Tenancy Agreement or Exchange of Contracts/Completion document

Plus at least one of these:

• Child/Working Tax Credit/Child Benefit/JSA/Disability Benefit Letter or Statement
• Driving Licence
• Schedule of Motor Insurance
• Utility bills such as Gas/Water/Electric/Sky/Virgin Media/BT/Broadband etc
• Payslip

Proof that your child lives at the same address can be any of:

• Doctor/Hospital appointment letter in the child’s name
• Savings account or bank statement in the child’s name
• Child benefit statement
• Letter from their nursery/preschool / current school

Please Note - This is not an exhaustive list and the school / Local Authority reserves the right to request further documentation if it considers the evidence provided insufficient to prove residence at the application address. If you have used an incorrect address on your application or your circumstances have changed unexpectedly, please contact the Primary Admissions team for guidance at primaryadmissions@kent.gov.uk.

If you do not provide address evidence or if you provide insufficient evidence to confirm your address at the final closing date of January 2025 the offer may be withdrawn even after your child has started at the school. 

If you have any queries about the Admission process, please ring the school. You can also contact the Kent Admissions Team on 03000 41 21 21 or visit their website

Admission to the Foundation Classes may initially be on a part-time basis. Once a place has been formally offered,    parents will be advised of the school’s start dates and admission arrangements for children in the Foundation  classes.
