Which grammar schools are easily reached from Bromley?

[doodles]

Other schools I know Bromley children head to include the Kent grammars Dartford, The Judd and Skinners but as out of county you need high scores and some have changed their requirements recently to mean fewer out of county places. Rumours are that Weald of Kent is coming out really far this year due to extra class so keep an eye on that sort of information for your year of entry.

Do also consider the long day - a good local comp is probably better than a long day at an ok grammar.

The Skinners' school doesn't have in and out of county it's intake is purely based on score. Judd have recently introduced an inner and outer area scheme and Bromley is within the outer area.

You need to read the admissions criteria for each school but do bear in mind what PWF said about travel, it can make for a very long day especially when they have to do after school training or clubs. Then there's parents' evenings, meetings and of course where their friends will live.
