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.

This does not look like good news for all of our children in school!

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.

For more information please visit the Kent Admissions.
