Delce Academy: admissions history
How many families applied, how many places there were, and how far the last place went - every year we hold.
For September 2021 entry, 8 families put Delce Academy as their first choice and 40 named it as one of their preferences, for 17 places offered. It had fewer first-choice applications than places, so in 2021 a family who put it first could expect an offer unless the school's other criteria ruled them out.
Across Medway, 94% of families were offered their first-choice primary school for 2026 entry, and 99% were offered one of the schools they named.
In 2025, families in Medway lodged 62 appeals against primary school offers; 48 reached a hearing and 12 succeeded (25% of those heard).
