Admissions Criteria

Three entry points for admission: Admission into Year 7; In‑Year Admissions – Year 7 to 11; Sixth Form. The Planned Admissions Number (PAN) for the Year 7 intake is 210. Applications for Year 7 places for September 2026 closed on 31 October 2025. School offers are sent by Kent County Council on 2 March 2026 and you must accept or refuse the offer by 16 March 2026. If your child has an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP), talk to your SEN Caseworker about which school you’d like your child to attend. Applications for Year 7 places for September 2026 do not require a supplementary form unless applying under Health and Special Access Reasons. In‑Year Admissions: complete an In Year Admission Form and return it to [email protected]; the school will respond by post within 5 school days with a decision. There is no guarantee of a place; if none is available, you will be given the opportunity to place your child on the waiting list, ranked in order of the oversubscription criteria listed in our Admissions Policy. To lodge an appeal for any year group, submit a Secondary School Appeal Form. Kent County Council will contact you with an Appeals hearing date. For further information, click the Admissions Policies and related documents.
