Admissions to Year 7 in September 2025 opened on the 2nd of September 2024 and close on the 12th December 2024. Offers will be made on the 3rd March 2025 in accordance with our admissions criteria.

The school will process applications for September 2025 outside the normal local authority process for coordinating school offers. You can only apply for Alkerden using the form available on the school website. Alkerden is not listed as an option on the KCC common application form.

**You will need to complete your local authority's usual application form for your other school choices in addition to the separate application for this school.**

This does mean that you may receive 2 school offer emails. You will then need to accept one offer and reject the other.

Premier Modular has purposefully designed the temporary school.
The children will fully use an all-weather pitch and a Multi-Use Games Area (MUGA).

Please see our page for the plans and layout of the temporary school.

We are led by KCC. Currently, the expected date for the permanent site to open is September 2026.

Secure fencing will provide a robust boundary between the main site construction areas and the temporary school facility. We will be working closely with Graham (the contractor) and KCC to always ensure safety and accessibility to the temporary site.

Each subject area has a developed curriculum journey which spans the time that children enter the school in Reception to the moment they leave at the end of Year 13. The inclusive curriculum supports our pupils to develop and flourish through our belief that every child can excel through exposure to the best of what has been thought and said. Staff are trained in innovative and collaborative pedagogical approaches to provide the greatest support for learning. Pupils are assessed to check that they know and remember key knowledge and the extent to which they can reason with and use this knowledge to excel in each subject area.

The school timings will range between 08:00 – 17:00.

These will be in June/July 2025.
The dates will be communicated nearer to the time.

No. We accept those of all faiths and none.

These are expected to open in 2026. Please check the website for updates.

We will hold a waiting list for nursery places, and a form will be available on the website to complete your details in the near future. Applications for the Primary phase will be expected to open on the 5th November 2025 for admission in September 2026.

Yes. This is expected to open in 2030 for 90 pupils.

If your child is unable to walk to school, there are the following options:

• A new fast-track bus service was launched in July. Please see the Ebbsfleet Garden City website for details about your area.

• Ebbsfleet International Station.

A fully working kitchen in the temporary provision will provide lunches to children who choose to have school dinners. Children have the option to bring in their packed lunch.
