Secondary Transfer 2009 - General FAQs Page 2 of 4

I am applying to a Foundation or Church school. Do I have to complete any additional forms?
Y
ou may have to complete a supplementary form for some foundation or aided schools. Please refer to the booklet "Admission to Secondary School in Kent 2009" for details. Supplementary forms are obtained from and returned direct to secondary schools.

How do I get more information about the schools I'm interested in?
Each school has open sessions which parents and their children can attend. Dates and times for these are given in the booklet "Admission to Secondary School in Kent 2009". Individual schools also produce their own booklets with more detailed information. Contact the schools direct if you want a copy of their booklet, or need to arrange a visit at a different time.

I live in Kent but my child sometimes stays with relatives. Can I use their address?
It is the child's only or main residence that is to be put onto the SCAF. Evidence of ownership or rental agreement may be required, plus proof of permanent residency at the property concerned.

What if I have moved or am moving home?
You need, if possible, to provide proof of your new address (eg a letter confirming exchange of contracts) when submitting your SCAF. This information will be taken into consideration when allocating places. Otherwise, decisions will be based on the last confirmed.

What if my situation changes after I have returned the application form?
You need to contact the Secondary Admissions Team who will be able to give individual advice.

What sort of help will I get towards transport costs for my child getting to and from school?
Please refer to the booklet "Admission to Secondary School in Kent 2009".
