Stone St Mary's CofE Primary School admissions and catchment area
No entrance test - you apply on the common application form
Stone St Mary's CofE Primary School does not run its own entrance test. As an academy, its governing trust is the admissions authority and sets the arrangements within the national Admissions Code, while Kent County Council coordinates applications and offers.

As a Church of England school, faith-based criteria may apply in oversubscription - a supplementary information form is usually required.
