Medway Council - School admission arrangements
We currently go up to year 4 as our status changed from Infant to Primary from September 2023. All the below year groups will follow up through the school to Year 6.
Nursery admissions
At Greenvale Primary School, we have a Nursery that is able to take children from the age of 3.
We offer free nursery places to children starting the term after their 3rd birthday. Children can attend for up to 5 sessions (15 hours) a week. The sessions are mornings only, 8.30am - 11.30am.
Our main intake is September, along with January and Easter.
To find out if we have spaces available, please contact the school office.
Reception admissions (a child's first year at school)
Greenvale Primary School admits children into Reception at the beginning of the Autumn Term (Term 1).
Places are offered to children following receipt of form PCAF by the local Education Authority (Medway) which also outlines the criteria for admission.
If the school is oversubscribed, the Medway Council Admissions criteria will be used to determine further admissions. The admission arrangements for disabled children are the same as for any other pupils and the school will do everything possible to ensure such children are treated fairly and have the same opportunities as other children.
