Admissions
Mid-School Entry: 2026-2027
Should you require an ‘in year’ secondary school place for your child at The Charles Dickens School please complete the digital form here. The link is also available on the KCC website www.kent.gov.uk/inyearadmission where you will find additional information about the process.
If we do not have any places available in the required year group we will add your child to our waiting list and send a letter to confirm that we have done so.
Waiting List
The Charles Dickens School will keep and maintain an up to date waiting list for each year group. The waiting list will be compiled according to the School’s Oversubscription Criteria.
Places will be allocated to students on that waiting list as they become available. The school's Waiting List will be re-ranked, in line with the published oversubscription criteria, every time a child is added.
Unfortunately we cannot give any indication as to how long your child could be on our waiting list or when a place may become available.
The school takes seriously its duties under the Equality Act 2010 and will not discriminate in admissions because of disability, sex, gender reassignment, race, religion or belief and sexual orientation
