Admissions Arrangements September 2027

In Year Admissions

If your child is at primary, junior or secondary school and you want to move them to a different school in Kent, you will need to submit an In Year Admissions Form.

Unlike an admissions application when a child starts school, Kent cannot make this offer on your behalf. You are required to apply to the school(s) that you want your child to attend.

As there is no guarantee that your preferred school(s) will have a space available for your child, you should not remove them from their current school before you are sure they have somewhere else to go.

If you want to move your child to a school in Kent, you must complete the In Year Admissions Form.

In Year Admissions

 

If a parent wishes to transfer their child from another school without moving home, the school will contact the child’s current school to confirm the child’s situation and learn about the individual child so that our school is able to offer the correct support should the child be offered a place. It is also expected that the parent/carer of the child, along with the child themselves when appropriate, visit our school before any place will be offered. The school will provide the Local Authority of any vacancies within 48 hours of the Local Authority requesting the information. Westcourt Primary & Nursery School admissions process: • Notify parents of application outcomes within 15 school days of application receipt • Notify the LA of application outcomes within two days of outcome decision • Start children who have been offered places promptly after they have been offered.

 

Appeals 

All applicants refused a place have a right of appeal to an independent appeal panel constituted and operated in accordance with the School Admission Appeals Code. 

Appellants should contact Kent County Council Schools Admissions Team within the given time frame (approximately 30 days from the letter refusing admission) to lodge an appeal. The appeals process is run in accordance with the statutory processes and timescales set out in the School Admissions Appeals Code.
