Kent Schools Admission Forum

The Kent Schools Admission Forum was established in accordance with the guidelines set out in the Education (Admission Forums) (England) Regulations 2002 as amended by Statutory Instrument 2007.

Admissions forums have a key role in ensuring a fair admissions system that promotes social equity and does not disadvantage one child compared to another. Forums are responsible for monitoring compliance with this Code and have important powers to publish a report on the effectiveness of local admission arrangements and to refer an objection to the Schools Adjudicator where they consider admission arrangements to be unfair or not in accordance with this Code.
