Admissions To Our School
Parents and carers who wish to apply for a place for their child at St Kentigern’s are welcome to make an appointment with Mrs Muldoon (Headteacher) to visit the school.
Mrs Muldoon will be pleased to show all prospective families around our school and discuss the admission process. Should you require any support submitting your application for a place for your child, please let the school know and we will be happy to help.
The Admission Authority for our school is the Governing Body: they make the decisions about admissions to our school. All Admissions will be made following the school’s Admission Policy.
