The 11 Plus exam is taken by children in their last year of primary school and determines whether they are suitable for a grammar school education.
Dover Grammar School for Girls uses the Kent Test for admissions via 11 Plus. The Kent Test is an entrance examination taken by children in Year 6 who wish to attend grammar schools in Kent, including the possibility of joining Dover Grammar School for Girls.
