Priority order when there are more applications than places, 2027-28 (Reception):
Medway publishes the ranking with no year on its web pages; this is the determined co-ordinated scheme, which states the year on its own face and again inside the sibling rule ("will still be attending in September 2027"). Medway Council's published oversubscription criteria for the schools it is the admission authority for (the council names them on the companion page). The council publishes this list WITHOUT an academic year and the sibling priority still reads 'September 2020', so it is recorded against the live admission round only and has not been carried back to earlier years. Voluntary aided and foundation schools, and most Medway academies, set their own criteria. The council lists this school under 'Voluntary controlled'.
