Application Process

The Kingston Academy  is an academy, operated by Kingston Educational Trust which is the admissions authority for the school.

Applications are coordinated and accepted on behalf of the school by the Royal Borough of Kingston (including in-year applications). If there are more applications than the number of places available applications are ranked  in accordance with the school’s oversubscription criteria, which form part of its admissions arrangements linked below. 

Further information about the application process, including changing school in-year, can be found on the Kingston School Admissions website or by contacting Kingston School Admissions:

 
September 2025: Update to the grid reference point for the school entrance, for the purposes of the distance oversubscription criteria

Distance is measured by a straight line from the home address to the main Richmond Road school entrance. All distances are measured using Kingston School Admissions computerised Geographical Information System.

Recent works to improve the configuration of the front of the school have moved the Richmond Road school entrance slightly. This had been set back from Richmond Road, within the Promenade, but now sits on the boundary with Richmond Road.

To ensure fairness, use of the new grid reference point for the school entrance will be implemented as follows:

  • from September 2025 for Year 7 transfers, entry in September 2026
  • from September 2026 for all In-Year admissions (Years 7-11) and Year 7 transfer onwards.
