Application Information 

If you have a sibling born between 1st September 2019 and 31st August 2020, you may apply online for a school place for your child to start school in September 2024 later this year. 
 
The online application link is www.kent.gov.uk/ola. The deadline for all applications will be announced nearer the time. 
 
The Kent Admission to Primary School link is www.kent.gov.uk/primaryadmissions.  Please read it carefully, as it will tell you everything you need to know about the admissions process. 
 
In particular the Current Family Association: 
 
The sibling claim will stand if the family have continued to live at the same house as when the older sibling was admitted into the school, OR 
If the family have moved, and they have moved to within 2 miles of the school, OR  
If the family have moved nearer to the school from where they were living previously 
 
Please could you advise us if you are applying for a sibling, as it allows us to get an idea of how many sibling places will be allocated
