EKC Schools Trust is the admission authority for this school, so these rules are set by the trust rather than by Kent County Council, and the same policy covers every EKC school.

Applications are made on the common application form of the local authority where the child lives — for Kent residents that is Kent County Council — and the offer is made by that authority. The published admission number falls from 60 for 2026-27 to 30 for 2027-28 — half as many Reception places.
