Admissions
What is an In year admission?
If you want to transfer your child to the same year group in a different school (for example your child is in year 3 in one school and you wish to apply for a year 3 place in another school) your application is called an In Year admission (also known as a casual admission).
Finding a new school
By using KCC Schools Database you can find the schools nearest to you and their contact information in case you wish to visit them. KCC recommend you do this first as you can fill out an application at the school and in some cases this can save time.
How to apply
You can also download the In Year application form and return it to KCC office by post. If you are unable to print please contact KCC and they will send a form to you by post.

If you live outside of Kent you will need to apply to your own Local Authority for an In Year Admission. Please note that Medway, Bexley and Bromley Councils do not come under the authority of Kent County Council.
