Common mistakes parents make
Misconceptions we hear most often about this school
Passing the Medway Test does not guarantee a Year 7 place.
Qualifying as selective-eligible is only the first hurdle. Final allocation depends on oversubscription criteria, and distance from the school is frequently the deciding factor.
For Year 7, final offers are not just about selectivity; oversubscription rules still matter.
Parents often assume the highest scorers get priority. In practice, once a child meets the selective threshold, proximity to the school can matter more than raw score.
The school does not publish a simple official offer score for entry.
This means there's no single pass mark to aim for. Preparation should focus on performing strongly across all areas rather than targeting a specific number.
