Highsted Grammar School is a grammar school. Grammar schools are state secondary schools that select their pupils by means of an examination taken by children at the age 10 or 11.
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.
Highsted Grammar School uses the Kent Test to assess whether a child is suitable for a grammar school education in Kent. The test is taken by children in their last year of primary school and is used to determine whether they are suitable for a grammar school education.
The Kent Test is written by GL Assessment, a private company that provides educational assessments for schools. The test is made up of two papers, one in English and one in Maths, and is taken by children in their last year of primary school.
Your child will only take the Kent Test once, in the September of the year they are in Year 6. The test is taken at your child's primary school and the results are sent to you in October.
