Consultation for Admission Arrangements 2027-2028

In accordance with the School Admissions Code, all state-funded schools are required to consult on their admissions arrangements if any changes are proposed, or at least once every 7 years. As a Church of England school, we are committed to ensuring our admissions policies are transparent, fair and serve the needs of our school community.

Summary of Proposed Changes

We are proposing the following changes to our admissions arrangements for the 2027/28 intake:

• Amendments to the oversubscription criteria for both Primary and Secondary phases

Medical criteria

• We are considering the introduction of medical criteria as part of our oversubscription criteria for admissions.
• This would mean that children with exceptional medical or social needs, where Saint George’s Church of England School is the only suitable school, could be given priority for admission.
• Detailed evidence, such as a letter from a registered health professional or social worker, would be required to support such applications.

How to Respond

We welcome feedback from all stakeholders. To share your views:

• Email your comments to: office@saintgeorgescoe.kent.sch.uk
• Write to: Mrs Karen Amos, Primary Phase Admissions Consultation, Saint George’s Church of England School, Wescott Avenue, Gravesend, Kent, DA11 7HP.

The consultation will run from 18^th December 2025 to 31^st January 2026 (minimum 6 weeks, as per the Admissions Code).

Appeals

The panel is completely independent of the school and the Local Authority. All appeals will be heard online, which has the advantage that your appeal can be heard from your home or place of work.

If you wish to appeal, please use the buttons below to complete your appeal online.

If you are appealing for a place in years RECEPTION, year 1 or year 2, you are advised to read the section in the booklet which refers to appeals for these years.

You should include any evidence or supporting material with your appeal form and you MUST give the grounds for your appeal at the time you lodge your appeal form. Your appeal form will not be accepted unless you state the grounds for your appeal. You may appeal for more than one school.

Please note that the online form will ask you to download two utility bills dated in the last THREE months.  If you do not have access to a scanner, please take two photographs with a mobile phone and upload the photographic files.
