Admission Arrangements

Kent County Council (KCC) co-ordinates the admission arrangements for children who are requiring a Reception placement at Whitehill Primary School.

KCC administrates Secondary placements when the time comes for our students to move on. Applications for Secondary School must be done via the Local Authority. If you wish for your child to attend a Grammar School then they will need to sit a test called the 11+ (known as the Kent Test in Kent). Interested parents must register their child for the test directly with the Local Authority.
