Rosherville Church of England Primary Academy has a published admission number (PAN) of 20 children per year. To gain a place in Reception for the start of a new school year (September) you should apply through the Kent local authority process (see link below). For September 2020 applications must be made between 5th November 2019 and 15th January 2020. To apply for a place at any other time (for all year groups) then please contact the school to discuss your needs.

Kent County Council is responsible for school admissions across the county. Should a school be over-subscribed, places will be allocated according to the KCC published over-subscription criteria. This is:
- Children in Local Authority Care or Previously in Local Authority Care
