Before you apply.

  • Check each school’s admission arrangements: how it ranks applicants, and any priority areas.
  • Registration for the Kent Test closes before the test is sat; Kent County Council publishes the dates each year.
  • Medway’s grammar schools use a separate test, the Medway Test, and are not listed here.
