Primary School Reception Admissions (For September)

Please Note: all applications must be submitted to and are handled by Medway Council. The school is only informed who has applied and been accepted once the application deadline has passed.

Medway policy requires that children must apply to enter Foundation Stage 2 (Year R), even if they attend a school nursery. Once a child receives a place in Foundation Stage 2 they automatically pass from year group to year group until they leave for Secondary School.

Children with physical disabilities and/or complex medical conditions should confer with Medway Council and any external agencies supporting the family to help process their application and admission.

SEND Access and Admission Arrangements

  • Admissions for children to our inclusive specialist provisions is co-ordinated with Medway Local Authority and the School Admissions Officer. An EHCP identifies that the child requires support for their physical disability and/or medical condition that cannot reasonably be provided within the resources normally available to mainstream schools.
