If you have a child in Year 5, and are considering applying for grammar schools in Kent, you must register them for the Kent Test and/or one of the other tests that the local schools use.
Some of these registrations have now opened. The deadlines are at the beginning of July, so make sure your registrations are submitted during June.
If you live within range of the Dover or Folkestone schools it is wisest to register both for thes Kent Test and the Dover/Shepway test. Many children have found success on the Dover or Shepway tests, despite not reaching the threshold for the Kent Test. It’s definitely worthwhile doing both.
