Starting secondary school
Apply for a secondary school place for September 2018, if your child was born between 1 September 2006 and 31 August 2007.
If your child has a Education, Health and Care Plan or statement of special educational need you don’t need to apply through this admission process. Contact seneducationteam@medway.gov.uk instead.
Choose a school
You can list up to six preferences when you apply for a school place.
Before you apply, there are things you may want to consider doing:
- find out more about secondary schools in Medway including dates of open days
- find out how places are offered for each school by reading their admission arrangements
- check the schools' Ofsted report (Type in the school name and press 'search'. These reports are not taken into account as part of the admissions process).
It's also important to think about how your child will get to school. If you're interested in applying for home to school transport, you can request a list of the nearest qualifying schools from your home address.
Admission tests
If your child would like to attend a grammar school, they will need to pass the Medway Test.
Brompton Academy and Strood Academy require all applicants to sit a Fair Banding Test.
