In Year Admissions

To enquire about year group availability and waiting list procedures please telephone or email the School Office.

For “In Year” applications an In Year Application Form and Supplementary Information Form should be completed and returned directly to the school.

If you are having difficulty in finding a school place for your child, please telephone the Kent In Year Admissions Team on 03000 41 61 11 who can advise you which local schools have places in each year group.

Parents whose applications for places are unsuccessful, may appeal to an Independent Appeal Panel set up in accordance with sections 88 and 94 of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998.

If your child is due to start primary school in September 2025, you can appeal if you are refused a place at one of your preferred schools on National Offer Day (Wednesday 16 April 2025).

You must submit your appeal before Tuesday 20 May 2025 for it to be considered by Friday 18 July 2025. 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.

For appeals related to in year applications, appeals will be heard within 30 school days of the appeal being lodged.

For more information please contact our Admissions Officer, Francine Leveridge, via the main school office email (office@st-augustines-tunbridgewells.kcsp.org.uk).
 

If you are interested in applying for a place at our school and would like a tour please call the School Office on 01892 529796 to arrange this.

For Reception September 2026

Please return the Supplementary Information Form to the Admissions Officer at the school (not Local Authority). For Year R entry in September 2026 please return this form to the school no later than 15 January 2026 in order that we may rank your application.

Please note failure to submit a completed Supplementary Information form when applying for a Catholic school place may result in your application not being placed in the correct category and could result in you not receiving an offer of a place.

In Year or Casual Applications

Applications made too late for the local authority co-ordinated system, In-year applications for year R and applications for entry to years 1-6 must be made on the IYCAF (In -Year and Casual application Form) available on school websites. The same policy and procedure (apart from the timetable) applies to these applications. This form must be sent to the school’s Admissions Officer with this supplementary information form.

Please note that if you are not offered a place and submit an appeal, a copy of this form will be submitted to the Appeal Panel.
