Appeals

If your child is due to start primary school in September 2022, you can appeal if you were refused a place at one of your preferred schools on National Offer Day (Monday 17 April 2023).

You must submit your appeal before Tuesday 16 May 2023 for it to be considered by Tuesday 18 July 2023. Any appeals received after this time will be heard within 40 school days from the deadline, or where reasonably possible in line with updated guidance from the Department for Education.

For late applications, appeals should be heard within 40 school days from the deadline for lodging appeals where possible, or within 30 school days of the appeal being lodged where reasonably possible in line with updated guidance from the Department for Education.

In Year Admissions

If you are considering transferring your child to our school, please contact the school office via office@stone.kent.sch.uk or 01322 382 292 for information on availability and waiting lists, as well as to arrange a tour of the school.

If you are applying for a place outside of the September Admissions process you will need to complete an In-Year Application Form. This form will need to be completed and returned directly to the office, which can be downloaded below, with a copy of your child's full birth certificate which names both parents.
