11+ Kent
Kent still remains the largest grammar school area in the country, with 32 wholly selective grammar schools and 3 partially selective schools.
If you are looking for your child to gain a space at a Kent grammar school, you will need to register your child for the 11+ entrance exam, via the Kent County Council website. If you do not complete and return this form before the deadline, your child may not be able to sit the exam.
The Kent Test is set by Granada Learning Assessment (GL Assessment) and covers four 11+ subjects (Maths, English, Verbal Reasoning and Non-Verbal Reasoning). Children also have to complete a writing task, which is not marked, but may be used if your child does not reach the threshold score.
In order to succeed in the 11 plus exam, preparation is key to building the necessary skills and confidence. Questions covered in the 11 plus test require an in-depth knowledge of various topics, including those that may not be taught at school, e.g. Non-Verbal Reasoning. KSOL’s personalised online courses are suitable for all types of 11+ entrance exams and are completed by children across the country, to help them prepare. Whatever their needs, we will tailor your child's course to tackle weaker areas head on!
Due to the number of selective schools in Kent, KSOL recommend that parents visit their preferred Kent grammar school/s directly for details including admissions criteria and to help when considering which schools to include on your child’s local authority school preference form. The deadline to complete this form is the 31st October.
