If your child has a date of birth between 1st September 2020 and 31st August 2021

They are due to start school in September 2025.

 

You must complete the Kent County Council (or other Council if resident in another county) Reception Common Application Form (SCAF) and either return that to your child's primary school or make an electronic application at:

Please read the Admissions Policy and Procedure which can be found below.

Please also ensure that you have read the school’s Privacy Notice, which can be found on the school’s website. 

Please return this Supplementary Information Form to the School Administrator at the school (not Kent County Council). For Year R entry in September 2025 please return this form to the school no later than 15 January 2025 in order that we may rank your application.

If applicable, you must send a copy of your child’s baptismal certificate and/or Other Faith Reference to the School Administrator at the school office along with this completed form.

Please note failure to submit a completed Supplementary Information form when applying for a Catholic school place may result in your application not being placed in the correct category and could result in you not receiving an offer of a place.
