Admissions

We accept children at any point during the school year providing we have space available. If you have any queries regarding placing your child at our school, please complete the In Year Casual Application form and send to the office@palacewood.kent.sch.uk.

If you apply for a place and are unsuccessful, a new application needs to be made the following year please.

Foundation Stage

Children start school in the September following their 4th birthday. The admissions round opens in November for the following September and applications are made online at www.kent.gov.uk/ola. If you have any difficulty with the process, please do not hesitate to ask as we will be happy to help with the application. You can choose up to 3 schools in preference order, and the Local Education Authority will advise you in the middle of April which school you have been allocated.
