Kent 11 plus Guide

[noor2408]

My daughter got a total score of 345 in the Kent exam, below is the breakdown of total score.

I just want to know what is the possibility of getting the place in good school, we are planning to move inside the catchment area next month after school selection.

Just want to understand from parents what is her possibilities and which school we need to consider.

We have decided below schools.

Tunbridge Girls, Dartford Girls , Invicta, Mayfield and Wilmington

Which one we need to consider.

Thanks

They are significantly geographically dispersed. You would need to look at the entrance criteria for each. Presumably you have visited them all and have a view on what would suit your child best??

@noor2408 , the entrance criteria for each school can be found on the Kent County Council website; there are two links, one to a document containing the admissions policies for 'Communuty' schools, and the other leads to a list of links to the policies for the schools which are their own admissions authority.

Hopefully, you will have found time in the past few days to have a good look at the policies for each of the schools in which you are interested.

Sadly, there are always a few parents to whom it comes as a huge shock, even at this late stage, to discover that admission to the vast majority of Kent grammar schools isn't just, 'get super high score in test, get place at any grammar school I want', and that the basis for most is a pass in the test, then the apication of a whole raft of oversubscription criteria which are nothing to do with how well the applicant did above that baseline.
