Determined Admissions for 2027/28

For normal points of entry to school, Kent resident parents will have the opportunity to apply for their child’s school place online at www.kent.gov.uk/ola.

In Year Admissions

If your child is at another Primary or Junior school and you want to move them to Hartlip School, you need to apply. This is called an in-year admission.

There is no guarantee that we will be able to offer your child a place therefore you should not remove your child from their current school before you have an offer of a place.

The process and relevant forms can be found on the Kent County Council website.

Should there be more than one application for the same place the schools Admissions Policy will be followed.
