Admissions
Brook Community Primary School is a mainstream Foundation School and part of the CARE Foundation Trust; therefore, the Governing Board of Brook Community Primary School are the admissions authority. However, the Governors will work in cooperation with Kent County Council in order to operate within the Local Authority’s co-ordinated scheme for Primary Admissions.
If your child is due to start primary school in September 2026, you can appeal if you are refused a place at one of your preferred schools on National Offer Day (Thursday 16 April 2026).
You must submit your appeal before Monday 18 May 2026 for it to be considered by Monday 20 July 2026. 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.
