RECEIVING THE SCHOOL OFFER

If you provided an email address on your application Kent Admissions will email you on Friday 3rd March 2025 after 4pm to tell you which school you have been offered.

You can also log in to view your offer online on Friday 3rd March 2024.

Offer emails will be sent to the email address provided on your application.

Kent Admissions cannot guarantee the exact time you will receive your email, this will depend on your email service provider.

Due to data protection restrictions, Kent Admissions cannot send the offer to an alternate address without authorisation from the original email account. If you have changed email address, please ensure you can still access the original one so you can receive your offer, or you can view your offer online.

If you need to reset your password, you must use the email address you registered with.

We strongly advise you to accept the school offer given, even if you wish to appeal to another school listed on your application as your child could then be without a school place for September. This will not affect any appeal that you may be considering.

Please let the school office know if you are appealing for a different school and also the outcome.

Please also note that you need to directly appeal to the school not KCC

Term 6:

Once the secondary school places have been accepted, the secondary schools will contact WJS to arrange for a member of their staff to come into school to chat with your child. They will also meet with their class teacher and SENCo (if required) to share transition information (such as academic achievement, attendance, special arrangements, friendships).  

Parents will be informed of when the secondary schools will be visiting the children via our School Newsletter.

You will also receive information directly to your email with details of information evenings and transition days. Most secondary schools have the first Thursday of July as the day the children are invited to attend their new Secondary school for the day (wearing WJS school uniform) some schools do extend this to up to 5 days.
