Below you will find answers to some of the questions
parents frequently ask about secondary transfer. If your question
is not answered or you have further queries, please contact the
Admission Team.
My child is in year 6. How do I apply for a secondary
school place?
Complete a Secondary Common Application
Form (SCAF) from your home Local Authority or apply online on your
home Local Authority's website.
When does the SCAF have to be completed
by?
The form has to be completed and returned by 7
November 2008.
Where should the completed SCAF form be
returned?
If you live in Kent and your child attends
a Kent primary school, you must return the form to your primary
headteacher.
If you live in Kent and your child attends a primary school outside
Kent, you must return the form to the Secondary Admissions Team,
Kent County Council, Sessions House, County Hall, Maidstone ME14
1XQ.
When will I know which school my child has been
offered?
A letter will be posted to you on 2 March
2009 advising you which school place your child has been
offered.
Can I apply online?
Yes. Go to
www.kent.gov.uk/ola.
The website tells you how to apply.
I want to apply online but I cannot access the
information. What should I do?
Please speak to the
Systems Team on 01622 696789 or e mail
kentonlineadmissions@kent.gov.uk.
Do I have to put four choices on the
form?
No, but we ask you to name more than one school in case we can't
give you the one you want most. Putting down a single school will
not improve your chances of getting a place there, and if you don't
get a place there you may be allocated a school you would not have
chosen, some distance from your home.
