Admissions
Is your child due to start school in September 2027?
If so, we would be delighted to arrange a personal tour of the school with our headteacher, Mrs Julia Head.
Please contact the school office on 01233 756274 or email office@egerton.kent.sch.uk to book a mutually convenient day and time. We have a selection of days and times available, from now until the middle of December.
If you have a child who is due to start school, we warmly encourage you to book a tour. This is an ideal opportunity to:
- See our Reception classroom and outdoor learning areas in action
- Ask questions specific to your younger child's needs
- Discuss any concerns or queries you may have about the transition to school
- Ask any questions you may have about our approach, curriculum and facilities
- Experience the warm and welcoming environment we offer all our pupils
Starting school in September 2027
Children should start primary school if born between 1 September 2022 and 31 August 2023.

Applying Online for September 2027 (academic year 2027/2028)
Our school PAN is 30. Please note that admissions to our Reception Class are handled by KCC, and we follow their admissions criteria. The admission of pupils with disabilities is the same as those applied to pupils without disabilities. The school fully complies with the Equality Act 2010 and the School Admission Code in relation to the arrangements for the admission of disabled pupils. Where a child is disabled, the school will make reasonable adjustments and provide resources to ensure that no disabled child is placed at a substantial disadvantage compared to other pupils.
If you have any questions about your child starting school, including enquiring about deferring entry, please speak in the first instance to Mrs Head, Headteacher.

If the year group you require is full, we can add you to our waiting list. Spaces may become vacant during the school year, and if this happens we will refer to our waiting list and offer places in accordance with the criteria laid out in the Kent County Council guidelines.
