To apply for a secondary school place for September 2027 please visit:

https://www.kent.gov.uk/education-and-children/schools/school-places/secondary-school-places

For children starting year 7 in September 2027 applications opened on Monday 1 September and close on Monday 2 November 2026.

You can apply for up to 4 schools:

  • Put the schools in your order of preference.
  • It’s in your best interest to list 4 schools.
  • Naming only one school does not guarantee your child a place at that school or give priority for a place over another child.
  • You are not able to name the same school more than once.

To apply for a school outside of Kent, name the school in your application with your other preferences. Your application details will be passed on to the relevant local authority for processing.
