Please email the school office office@great-chart.kent.sch.uk to accept or decline your child’s place by Tuesday 30th April. When accepting your child's place please include the name of your child’s nursery or pre school and their contact details. 

Please could you let us know which nursery or pre school your child attends so that we are able to arrange information sharing meetings with them. We may not visit nurseries in person but we will  hopefully discuss children with their key workers or nursery leaders. 

Friday 24th May - DEADLINE for Documents to be returned to school 

Please email/send in all requested documentation along with the original of your child’s full birth certificate. 

We will need to check the following documentation for proof of your child’s main address (confirming that you AND your child were resident at the address given on your application by the final date of Friday 9 February 2024).

Proof of your address should include:

If you are unable to send your address documents via email, please advise the school. If you cannot evidence that the address you used meets the requirements on page 16 of the primary admissions guide your offer may be withdrawn. If you are concerned you have used an incorrect address on your application, or your circumstances have changed unexpectedly please contact the Primary Admissions team for guidance at primaryadmissions@kent.gov.uk

Wednesday 12th June at 6pm - Information Session for Parents only (no children to this event)

An information session for parents has been arranged for Wednesday 12th June to start at 6pm. Even if you have older children who are already attending this school I do urge you to come to this meeting since admission arrangements do vary each year. We will be able to explain to you the arrangements in place for when your child starts school and give you other information about school.  

Please note this session is for parents only and children are not allowed to attend. We will not be checking documentation and birth certificates at this meeting.

June/July 2024 - Transition Sessions 

We would like to invite your child to some induction sessions so that they can meet the staff and become familiar with their new classroom. There will be 3 induction sessions per class. 

Parents will be informed about class allocations at the beginning of term 6 in a separate letter/email. 

September 2024 arrangements

We will hold consultations from Tuesday 3rd to Friday 6th September (for you and your child) and then the children will be part time initially leading to full time from Friday 13th September.
