Reception Year Admissions

The admission of pupils into the reception class for each September intake, remains administered by Medway Council, please contact Medway Council school's admission team (01634 336000) if you need further information.

Important Dates for September 2021 Reception Class Intake:

  • Monday 7th September 2020 - Applications open on www.medway.gov.uk website, 9AM.
  • Friday 15th January 2021 - Applications close, 5PM.
  • Friday 16th April 2021 - Offer details provided to parents/carers confirming allocation of place.
  • ​Friday 14th May 2021 - Deadline for places to be accepted/refused and requests to go on a waiting list.
  • Friday 14th May 2021 -  Deadline for appeals to have been submitted. Specific dates and times will be advised to appellants on an individual basis.

You are asked to note that if the appeal is for Year R (or any other year in KS1) that the school is bound by infant class legislation. This means that it is against the law to have more than 30 children in any one class and this number has been allocated according to the school’s over-subscription criteria.

Consequently, there are only limited conditions under which an appeal may be upheld. Very few appeals, if any, are successful for Years R/1 and 2 in this school because it cannot break the law and have more than 30 children in any one class. 

For the last few years no appeals have been successful at this school. 

It is advisable to place your child on the school’s waiting list alongside any appeal request. You are more likely to be given a place from the waiting list than through the appeal process.
