Sevenoaks Primary School

Admissions

We are a large community primary school, committed to catering for the strengths and talents of each individual.  Pupils are offered a wide range of extra-curricular clubs and activities in addition to a diverse and exciting curriculum.

Kent Local Authority (LA) co-ordinates the admission arrangements of all primary schools in the County.  This means that instead of applying separately to different schools you can apply online at www.kent.gov.uk/primaryadmissions naming up to three schools. Our Published Admissions number  (PAN) is 90 per year group. Our places are allocated based on the following priorities

  • Children in local authority care or previously in local authority care
  • Current family association - sibling
  • Health and special access reasons
  • Nearness of children’s home 

For full details of our Admission procedure please see our Admissions Policy
