Admissions

We are a primary school catering for children aged 4 - 11. Children are admitted during September in the school year in which they turn 5, in accordance with the school's admission policy, via the Kent Reception Common Application Form (please follow the link below).

Starting school process via Kent County Council

Children transferring from another school are admitted according to the admission policy providing that there is space in that year group. They must complete an In Year Common Application Form (IYCAF) which is part of the attached link below, to Kent County Council.

Move to a different school process via Kent County Council

Appeals process for Sep 2026

If your child is due to start primary school in September 2026, and you are not offered your preferred choice of school, you can only appeal to Kent Admissions if you feel the due process wasn't followed accurately.

Northbourne CEP School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and we expect all Governors, staff, volunteers, parents and carers to share this commitment.
