Applying for a Primary School Place (Reception September 2024)

If you have a child due to start school in September 2024 (whose date of birth falls between 1st September 2019 and 31st August 2020) the application process for a primary school place is now closed, but it is not too late to apply for a place at Swalecliffe School. Please email kentonlineadmissions@kent.gov.uk with your child’s:

• name
• date of birth
• full address.

KCC will advise you of the next steps. If you would like a tour of Swalecliffe School, please contact the school office on 01227 272101.

Choosing a school for your child is one of the biggest decisions you will make for them and we know you will be desperate to choose the one that is right. We are here to help you every step of the way and to answer your questions. We would love to welcome you on a tour of the school and show you all that our lovely school has to offer your child.

We would also love for you to join us for one of our Swalecliffe Pre-School Storytime sessions, please see the poster below for details. There is a maximum of 8 children per session so booking is required.

Meanwhile, for a glimpse into our school and to see us in action please see the film below which we made when touring wasn't so easy due to the pandemic. The children loved helping to make the film! Mr Cooper, our Executive Headteacher, has also made a film of his usual welcome talk.

We wish you and your family well as you make this decision and hope to see you soon!
