The admissions process

There are a number of changes to the admissions process this year. One significant change is that parents may now name up to four schools on their application form, up from four in previous years. Furthermore, KCC will also allow parents to make changes to their application up until Friday 9th December 2022 This date is after the outcomes of the PESE (Kent Test) will be emailed to parents.

Further information is available in this presentation from Kent.
