Dartford grammar and Wilmington grammar for girls

[Giraffejen]

Our DD narrowly missed the Bexley 11+ by a few marks, but passed the Kent test with flying colours.
We currently live on the boarder of Bexley and Kent. But our address comes under Bexley.
has anyone had any experience in receiving a place out of borough?
We are only a couple of miles away from both schools.
Any advice or previous experiences welcomed. Thank you ☺️

I believe the requirement for OOC dartford grammar for girls are higher, mostly 400+, and they've only 50 for OOC this year so depends on how high the score is.

Not sure about Wilmington grammar but i think sometimes it did reach out to Bexley depending on how many students they've already taken.

How 'flying' were your DD's colours in the Maths element of the Kent Test?

Governor Places - awarded to girls who have shown exceptional performance in the Mathematics paper of the Kent test and residing within a 5 mile radius of the school - Up to 10% of the PAN (18 places) will be awarded to those children who through the tests have shown an exceptional performance which places them in the top 18 selective places in Mathematics. In case of tied scores distance will be used. If in the unlikely event that more than one applicant has the same distance from home to school, as measured by the Local Authority, then an independently adjudicated random selection will be applied.

The criterion comes after LAC / PLAC, Siblings inc Siblings of pupils at the boys' grammar, and children of staff.

Someone submitted a Freedom of Information Act request for information which includes 2024 offers to Bexley applicants to Wilmington Girls' (although 'past experience is no guarantee of future results', as they say):
