KENT TEST - 2025 entry
Applications for the secondary school intake of September 2025 will open in September 2024.
You will be able to name up to 4 secondary school preferences. A Kent grammar school can only consider your child for a place if you have named it on your application and your child has been tested and assessed suitable for admission.
To be assessed for grammar school you will need to register your child to sit the Kent Test. Registration is now open and you can apply here: https://kent.cloud.servelec-synergy.com/Synergy/Admissions.aspx
Please note that the deadline for registrations is midnight on the evening of Monday 1 July 2024 and you will not be able to apply after this date.
Assessment is normally done through testing during the autumn term. This year, the tests are due to take place on Thursday 12th September 2024 for pupils in Kent primary schools.
