Primary and Junior Admissions

Reallocation Ranking

Next week is the start of the Primary/Junior school Admissions Reallocation ranking process. This is where schools rank their waiting list and late applicants on the SAM website – full instructions will be emailed to admissions contacts next week along with an invite to a virtual briefing to be held at 10am on Thursday 8 May, so please put this in your diaries. The deadline to complete this ranking task is Wednesday 14 May so that offers and outcomes can be emailed to parents by Kent Admissions on Reallocation Offer Day, Thursday 22 May.

Acceptances and Refusals for offers made on National Offer Day (16 April)

Parents were given a response deadline of Wednesday 30 April. Now that this has passed, schools may chase anyone who is still outstanding (information on how to do this was emailed to schools along with the original offer list). Schools have until Wednesday 14 May to return their list of acceptances and refusals via the S2S website.
