Score for Dartford grammar for boys out of Dartford

[AkkiP]

Hi,
My son got 402 in Kent test and we live is Ashford in Kent.
Will this fetch place in Dartford Grammar school for boys.

Thanks in advance.

Yes it’s a good score and should be fine for an OOC place although nothing is a given. Please look at the commute though he will be expected to stay until 5 every Monday and be back at the school for 8.30am on the Saturday morning for at least the first term for rugby training - can he do that and still commute comfortably and do his homework?

Thank you for the reply.
We are planning to move to Dartford if we get place.

Any information on upto what score were places offered last year for out of catchment?

384 was the cut off for ooc places in March last year so you should be fine.

Can anyone estimate roughly how many points the 384 OOC from last year is likely to go up by this year?

There are lot of high scoring children from OOC area. I guess they also qualified for their local grammar school. In that case, I think OOC cut off will be around 385-388. However, if high scoring children apply to DGS then the cut off will around 392 or over.
I wish the cut off stays same as last year as my son score 388. Thanks

Thanks @Aby. I am hoping so as well as Twin1 scored 387 and Twin2 scored much higher!
