Sutton-At-Hone Church of England Primary School: admissions history
How many families applied, how many places there were, and how far the last place went - every year we hold.
For September 2026 entry, 45 families put Sutton-At-Hone Church of England Primary School as their first choice and 88 named it as one of their preferences, for 52 places offered. It had fewer first-choice applications than places, so in 2026 a family who put it first could expect an offer unless the school's other criteria ruled them out.
First-choice demand has fallen from 58 in 2021 to 45 in 2026, while places went from 59 to 52.
Across Kent, 90% of families were offered their first-choice primary school for 2026 entry, and 98% were offered one of the schools they named.
In 2025, families in Kent lodged 311 appeals against primary school offers; 223 reached a hearing and 22 succeeded (9.9% of those heard).
