I do not agree with some of the above, I think if they were prioritising children living in the area they would have had the catchment by area (i.e. 3 miles radius) as there are local children in Crayford and Bexley who live closer to the school than a lot of these parishes' that are stated on the admissions document, and they are being classed as OCC which I believe is unfair. Wilmington have 1.5 radius and the parishes, this is more fair in my opinion.
As previously mentioned the budget is not coming from Kent council but from central government so I don't understand why there is a divided, priority should be given on proximity not who you pay your council tax to. It seems like its okay for children living in parish that will take 1-2 hrs to travel to the school but not children 5-10 mins walk away.
