To apply for a primary school place you will need to:

• use the child’s main address
• complete an application for each child if you’re applying for more than one such as twins. Twins will not count as a sibling link for a place.

Admission of summer born children

 

Deferring or delaying your child's start date

Children reach compulsory school age when they turn five and must be in school no later than the term after their fifth birthday.

If you'd like to defer or delay your child's start date, there are two options open to you.

Deferred start date in the same academic year

All school offers are made for the start of the academic year in September.

If you want your child to start school later in the academic year, you need to apply for a school place at the normal time and speak to the school about your child starting later once an offer is made.

You can only defer the start date within the same academic year. Once agreed, the school will hold the place your child has been offered.

If you do not want your child to start school until the next academic year, you can request a delayed start date, please see below.

Delay start date to the next academic year (summer born children)

If your child is born between the 1 April and 31 August, they’re classed as summer born and you can request a delayed start to school. This means you want them to start year R (reception) a year after other children their age.

To be considered for a delayed start, you need to follow the Medway Council protocol for the admission of summer born children:- 

https://www.medway.gov.uk/downloads/file/4589/protocol_for_the_admission_of_summer_born_children

If your request is not granted and you still do not want your child to start until the following year, you'll need to apply as an in-year admission at that time but for a year 1 place.

This means your child will start school a year later, but will have missed year R (reception).

 

Apply to move school / In-Year (casual) Admission

You can apply to move school part way through the school year. This is called an in-year or casual admission and can be for a:

• child who needs a place at a Medway school or academy
• child who is being educated at home and now needs a Medway school place
• child who currently goes to a Medway school or academy and wants to move to a different school or academy in Medway

In-year (casual) admissions are used for entry to any year group between reception and year 6 (for a primary schools) during the school year and outside of the normal transfer process for reception.

If you would like to apply for a school place, you will need to do so by contacting the relevant school office to complete an in-year (casual) admission form.
