Tonbridge Grammar School have 40 places for out of county girls based on score.

Weald of Kent also take quite a few from outside Kent depending on distance from the school.

There may be others but those are the ones I know about.

Doesn't Newstead Woods have a 9 mile catchment?

Try for a top 180 place in Bexley?

Wherever you are going south of the Thames, though, you would need to move - it's unfair on your DD to send her on a long and / or complicated journey every day for years. Is there a reason you don't fancy the CSSE schools / CCHS / WCHS, or would you have to move for them as well?

yes if she get through cchs that be our first choice.

For this school we dont need to move.

we are looking for kent in case she does not get through at cchs.

Dartford Girls Grammar. Intake of 160 with 100 reserved for local boroughs, leaving the balance based on score only. Vicinity to school applies when scores are tied.
