Please note that this section is rather lengthy, and hence is spread across several pages. You will find the links below.

It is designed primarily for parents resident in Kent, whose children will be transferring to state secondary schools in September 2019. Parents considering a grammar school application should also look at the pages on Kent and Medway Grammar School Admissions and Medway Secondary School Admissions.

Kent Schools

There is more information, advice and comment on the School Admission Code page. You may also find an article I wrote in September 2014 helpful. 

For admissions you may well find my telephone consultation service useful. I also give talks for parents at several Kent primary and secondary schools by invitation, and am also happy to talk with groups of parents, as well as individuals. 

You will find the full details of the Kent Secondary transfer scheme on the KCC website here (secondary determined scheme for 2018), together with next year's oversubscription and admission rules for community and voluntary aided schools here, and individual Foundation, Voluntary Aided Schools and academies here where, in the Spring of 2018 you will also find any proposed changes for individual schools for 2019.  A more readable online booklet sets out the full rules together with relating to admissions including residence rules, assessment for grammar school, applying for Kent schools if you live outside the county, school offers, late applications and In Year admissions, transport including the Young Persons' Travel Pass. Unfortunately, at the time of writing the 2019 online Admissions Booklet  will not be posted until September, but you will find 2018 here.
