How to Apply
Admissions for Kent County Council are handled centrally through the Local Authority portal.
You must apply online before the national closing dates: 31 October for Secondary applications, and 15 January for Primary applications.
Late applications will only be processed after all on-time applications have been allocated.
Understanding Catchment Distances
Most schools allocate remaining places based on straight-line distance from the school gates after priority criteria (like Looked After Children or Siblings) are met. As a result, exact "catchment postcodes" do not permanently exist. The cut-off distance shrinks or expands every single year depending on local birth rates and application volume.
