Admission Arrangements

Kent County Council (KCC) co-ordinates the admission arrangements for children who are requiring a Reception placement at Whitehill Primary School.

KCC administrates Secondary placements when the time comes for our students to move on. Applications for Secondary School must be done via the Local Authority. If you wish for your child to attend a Grammar School then they will need to sit a test called the 11+ (known as the Kent Test in Kent). Interested parents must register their child for the test directly with the Local Authority.

If you are appealing for a place in years RECEPTION, year 1 or year 2, you are advised to read the section in the booklet which refers to appeals for these years.

You should include any evidence or supporting material with your appeal form and you MUST give the grounds for your appeal at the time you lodge your appeal form. Your appeal form will not be accepted unless you state the grounds for your appeal. You may appeal for more than one school.

Please note that the online form will ask you to download two utility bills dated in the last THREE months.  If you do not have access to a scanner, please take two photographs with a mobile phone and upload the photographic files.
