Hope the answers help.
1. My son is not very sporty, would he be singled out?
Ans: No. Judd has boys pf all sporting ability. My son is very sporty and he is well accepted. I have a close friend and his son is not sporty at all and he is equally happy. pastoral care is very good.
2. Can anyone suggest a rough estimate percentage of different ethnic/race groups? Majorityly white? Or majority Indian like in some London schools? As my son is a mixed race, I’m hoping a balanced mix, so there’s less chance to be picked on.
Ans: Majority white but, there is a reasonable mix of other ethnicity
3. How much does it cost per annum? I thought it’s a free state school, but somewhere on the internet mentioned that theres cost involved?
Ans: Its state school so not much you need to pay apart from paying for some specific stationary like calculator and stuff like that. in addition some school trips, the mandatory ones are quite cheap and there are few optional like going overseas ....... In year 10 they do DoFE that is little costly but it is optional. I would say there is nothing major in terms of cost that pops out
4. Is there any separate application procedures other than the Kent county registration?
Ans: As far as I know you do only one form and list the schools in order of preference
Thank you very much! Very helpful information!
