For admissions into Reception parents and carers are required to complete an application form known as the “Common Application Form” (CAF) through Kent County Council. This can be found by clicking here for the Kent County Council ‘Applying for a School’ web page which also provides other key information on both primary and secondary school admissions. Forms should be submitted in accordance with the LA’s published deadlines for applications.
In Year Admission – How to Apply
If you are looking for a place at Folkestone Primary because you have recently moved into the area, or your child is at another school and you feel that a change of school would benefit their education and/or general well being, you are entitled to apply for a school place. Please contact the school office to request an In-Year Admissions Form or download a copy (below). This form must be completed and returned to the school office.
Appeals
If you have been refused a place at your chosen school you have the right to appeal.
You must submit your appeal before Monday 18 May 2026 for it to be considered by Monday 20 July 2026. Any appeals received after this time will be heard within 40 school days from the deadline, or where reasonably possible in line with updated guidance from the Department for Education.
You will be informed of the date of your appeal at least 14 calendar days before it is heard and a complete copy of the appeals paperwork will be sent to you at least 7 calendar days before the hearing.
The Clerk will normally provide you with the panel’s decision within 7 calendar days of your appeal. If the panel is hearing a large number of appeals, this will be 7 calendar days after the last appeal is considered.
Every 7 years we are required to hold consultations on our Admissions Policy, please see the below letter for details.
