RECEPTION ADMISSIONS
We fully appreciate the enormity of choosing a school for your child and how difficult this process might be. We have created a short film which we hope will offer you a flavour of Lady Boswell's and what makes us different. You can find this at the start of the previous Admissions page.
September 2025 starters (dob 1.9.20 - 31.8.21)
If your child is due to start school in the next academic year (September 2025) we are holding an Open morning on Wednesday 6th November 2024 9.30am - 11.30am.
Please sign into https://www.schoolinterviews.co.uk and use event code 9ftb2. After this date we will also be running tours every Monday afternoon at 2pm. These can be booked by emailing the school directly at office@ladyboswells.kent.sch.uk
Applications open on 5th November 2024 and close on Wednesday 15th January 2025 and you will need to apply online to KCC. Please read through the Admissions Policy shown below and complete and return the Supplementary Information form found at the end of the Policy (unless you are applying under Criteria 9 - All other children) directly to Lady Boswell's School.
We are happy to answer any questions that you may have. If they are not answered in the FAQ (frequently asked questions) below, please email admissions@ladyboswells.kent.sch.uk
In the April prior to your child starting school you will be informed by the Local Authority which school your child has been allocated. You can appeal against the decision and the allocation letter will outline how to go about making such an appeal.
If your child is due to start Primary school in September 2024, you can appeal if you are refused a place at one of your preferred schools on National Offer Day (Tuesday 16 April 2024)
You must submit your appeal before Tuesday 14 May 2024 for it to be considered by Tuesday 16 July 2024. 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
