You might want to ask to have this moved to the Kent section? The answer to your question may be in the posts on there.

Is MGS = Maidstone Grammar School?
Oversubscription Criteria
Entry is through the Kent age 11 assessment procedure. When the school is
oversubscribed (the School’s Planned Admission Number is 205), the following
oversubscription criteria will be used in the order shown:
1. Qualifying children who are looked after and previously looked after children.
2. Children resident in one of the parishes listed below, achieving at least a mark half
way between the pass mark and the maximum marks available in the Kent Test
(where a half way score produces a .5 figure the score will be rounded down), in
order of (a) siblings and (b) those living the shortest distance from the school.
3. Other qualifying children resident in one of the listed parishes, in the order of (a)
siblings and (b) those living the shortest distance from the school.
4. Other qualifying children, in the order of (a) siblings and (b) those living the
shortest distance from the school.
Your son would probably be in cat 3b if you live in one of the listed Parishes and without sibling in this school.
