Kingston upon Thames school admissions for parents
Kingston school admissions are run through Achieving for Children, which publishes separate pages for primary or junior entry, secondary transfer, in-year moves, appeals and policy documents. The live AfC pages checked on 23 May 2026 were post-allocation pages for the September 2026 round, so the strongest verified details are offer-day, response, waiting-list and appeal timings plus the linked 2026/27 coordinated schemes.
Primary and junior after-offer timetable
The official Kingston primary or junior page said offer emails would be sent on the evening of Thursday 16 April 2026 after 5pm. It also gave Thursday 30 April 2026 as the response deadline, Tuesday 12 May 2026 as the date when waiting-list positions become available, and Monday 1 June 2026 as the closing date for main-round appeals.
Secondary after-offer timetable
The official Kingston secondary page said National Offer Day was Monday 2 March 2026. It also gave Monday 16 March 2026 as the response deadline, Monday 30 March 2026 as the date when waiting-list positions become available, and Thursday 17 April 2026 as the closing date for main-round appeals.
Apply through AfC and eAdmissions
Achieving for Children says the School Admissions Service operates for Kingston in partnership with the council and follows the School Admissions Code. The pages also say families outside Kingston and Richmond should apply through their home council, and online applicants use eAdmissions to accept or refuse an offered place.
Policies and contact route
AfC publishes Kingston coordinated admissions scheme documents for secondary, primary and in-year transfer for 2026/27, alongside address-verification and related policy material. The service says there is no direct phone line for admissions because of hybrid working and asks parents to use kingston.admissions@achievingforchildren.org.uk, including the child's name, date of birth and address when requesting a callback.

Kingston upon Thames school admissions guide for parents
This guide summarises the official Kingston admissions pages published through Achieving for Children as checked on 23 May 2026. The live AfC pages were post-allocation pages for the September 2026 round, so the strongest verified details are offer-day, response, waiting-list and appeal timings together with the linked 2026/27 coordinated scheme documents.
Executive summary
Kingston runs school admissions through Achieving for Children rather than through a standalone Kingston council page. The official AfC pages give clear next-step timings for the September 2026 primary, junior and secondary rounds, plus direct links to in-year moves, appeals and the Kingston 2026/27 coordinated admissions scheme.
Key dates
| Stage | Primary and junior | Secondary |
|---|---|---|
| Offer timing | Evening of Thursday 16 April 2026 after 5pm | Monday 2 March 2026 |
| Respond by | Thursday 30 April 2026 | Monday 16 March 2026 |
| Waiting-list positions available | Tuesday 12 May 2026 | Monday 30 March 2026 |
| Main-round appeal deadline | Monday 1 June 2026 | Thursday 17 April 2026 |
The live AfC pages checked in this session were post-allocation pages, so use the Kingston 2026/27 coordinated scheme and the live application pages for the full opening and closing timetable.
