The Kent Test is taken by children in Term 1 of Year 6. The test is not compulsory for all children but is a requirement for children to enter a Kent Grammar school. Families who wish for their child to complete the test must register for them to do so with Kent County Council. Registration usually takes place in June. 

We want to make sure that our families feel well-informed about the testing process so that they can make an informed decision regarding their own children. 

The school offers an information evening for all parents of children in Year 5. This year, the evening will be held on Tuesday 3rd June 2025 at 5.30pm. We encourage Year 5 parents and carers to attend this meeting.
