Please return the Supplementary Information Form to the Admissions Officer at the school (not Kent County Council). For Year 7 entry in September 2026 please return this form to the school no later than 31st October 2025 in order that we may rank your application.
Please note failure to submit a completed Supplementary Information form when applying for a Catholic school place may result in your application not being placed in the correct category and could result in you not receiving an offer of a place.
Please note that if you are not offered a place and submit an appeal, a copy of this form will be submitted to the Appeal Panel.

Please read the Admissions Policy and Procedure which can be found below.
Please also ensure that you have read the school’s Privacy Notice, which can be found here.
In addition to applying through your home local authority website by completing a CAF all applicants who wish to apply under the oversubscription criteria listed in the policy are requested to complete a Supplementary Information Form (available on the school websites or from each school’s Admissions Officer). Completed forms, along with any supporting documentation, should be sent to the Admissions Officer at the school at the time of application. Not doing so may lead to your child being placed in a lower priority category than they should.
Any supporting documentation requested must be provided to the school by the closing date. This includes for Catholic, Other Christian or Other Faith children, a copy of the baptismal certificate/dedication or evidence of membership.
Please note that if you are not offered a place and submit an appeal, a copy of the form will be submitted to the Appeal Panel.
