In-Year Admissions

In-Year Admissions

If your child is already at a secondary school and you have decided that you want your child to move to The Skinners' Kent Academy, please complete our application form using the link below.

SKA In-Year Admission Form

If there are no spaces available at the time of your application, your child’s name will be added to the waiting list for the relevant year group. When a space becomes available, it will be filled by one of the students on the waiting list in accordance with the oversubscription criteria. Priority will not be given to children on the basis that they have been on the waiting list the longest.

Parents will be notified of the outcome of their in-year application in writing within 15 school days.

If you wish to discuss an application please contact Kathryn Osman, Administration and Admissions Manager on 01892 534377 or email admissions@skinnerskent.org.uk

Oversubscription Criteria

Where the number of applications for admission is greater than the published admission number, applications will be considered against the criteria set out below. After the admission of students with an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) where The Skinners’ Kent Academy is named on the statement, the criteria will be applied in the order in which they are set out below:

  1. Children in public care.
  2. Compelling medical or other exceptional social reasons for attending the Academy.
  3. Admission of students whose siblings currently attend The Skinners’ Kent Academy and who will continue to do so on the date of admission.
  4. Children on roll at Skinners’ Kent Primary School on 1 September of the academic year in which a secondary school application is made.
  5. Children of staff employed by The Skinners’ Kent Academy.
  6. Admission of students, on the basis of proximity to the Academy using a straightline measurement.

In the event of a tie-break situation, distance will be used. In the unlikely event there are two or more applications of equal eligibility for the last remaining place at the Academy a random selection will be applied and independently verified.
