School admission arrangements 2026
Our primary and secondary admissions schemes publish how the admissions processes work in Medway.
We consulted on changes to the schemes for September 2026 between Tuesday 1 October 2024 and Tuesday 12 November 2024. The consultation is now closed.
We're considering the responses to the consultation. The final version of the schemes will be determined by Medway Council's Cabinet on 17 December 2024 and will be published here in January 2025.
Most Medway schools are academies or voluntary aided and are responsible for setting their own admission arrangements. You can find these on their website.
