Waiting list intelligence
Official admissions policy states that if more applications are received than places available, oversubscription criteria apply.
Common mistakes parents make
Misconceptions we hear most often about this school
A published Medway grammar-assessment threshold is not the same thing as Rochester Grammar School's final offer score.
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.
Passing the Medway Test does not by itself guarantee a place if the school is oversubscribed.
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.
At sixth form, external applicants compete only for places remaining after internal students transfer from Year 11.
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.
