11+ Registration Dates

Every 11+ region has their own registration procedure. In some areas all children take the tests e.g. Bexley, but if you live outside the area you have to register independantly.

In Kent you are responsible for registering your child.

Make sure you're prepared.

Grammar Schools are under attack once again.(Nicola Woolcock in the Times.)

Mr Balls is reported saying:  “Let me make it clear that I don’t like selection. We don’t support new grammar schools.”

His remarks are sure to reopen the debate. Mr Balls is concerned that children who do not reach a grammar school may feel that they are failures.

The Kent Test dates have been released by the admissions office of the Kent County Council. Children will sit their exams on the 18th and 19th of September. Registration for the Kent 11 Plus starts on the 2nd of June and closes on the 11th of July. The mathematics, English, Verbal Reasoning and Non Verbal Reasoning has stayed the same.

You would not expect a professional footballer to be any good at his job if he doesn’t train, nor would you expect a professional golfer to win a tournament if he hadn’t played the course a couple of times. So why is it then that most parents expect their children to do well in an exam if they haven’t had any practice, or haven’t been taught how to answer the questions in the exam?

To all of the ETC Students who have passed the Grammar School entry test, a big congratulations. To those students who did their best in the exam but did not gain a place we can help with the appeal process.
