Cut off marks for kent grmammer schools

[doodles]

TWGSB does not have IC and OOC criteria. The second paragraph in link below lays out very clearly how they allocate places:

A quick search of the forum should bring up past cut off marks, but you need to remember that the 2022 intake will only be the second at the Sevenoaks annex (this year being the first) so historical data may not be entirely accurate for your situation.

If you are also interested in Wilmington you will need to ensure how moving to TW would affect that application in respect of their admissions criteria.

With 371 - you can easily get Skinners Grammar instead of Tunbridge Boys.

I think the only other grammar school you could apply to from Tunbridge Wells would be Skinners. Skinners require a score of 360, and then they have 140 places for boys in the "West Kent area" which covers the area within three miles of the school measured by straight line distance, plus named parishes (named in the admissions arrangements document), plus 20 places in the outer area. The furthest distance in 2020 was 3.5 miles for outer area and 7.484 miles for inner area.

You can read through the Skinners admissions documents here:

For Tunbridge Wells Grammar for Boys, you just need a pass score (there is no cut off score), and then places are allocated by those within a 3 mile radius of the school, named local parishes and distance. They have 210 places at the Tunbridge Wells site and 90 places at the Sevenoaks site. The local parishes for Tunbridge Wells Grammar and Skinners look fairly similar - you'd need to check through the admissions arrangement documents for both schools.

You will not be able to get into Wilmington Grammar living in Tunbridge Wells - the furthest distance they offered was 5.8 miles within their parish boundaries.

You will need to move by Friday 10 December for your new address to be used. Here is the link to the Kent guide to secondary admissions for 2022:

As has been explained TWGSB does not have a score cut off (like the majority of Kent grammars), if deemed selective (a pass), then it is the oversubscription criteria that come into play, most notably here - distance.

With the CAF process having been open since early September (and the decision to register one's DC to sit entrance tests having had to be made a good while before that), the last few days before the submission deadline does seem a rather odd time to have got to without actually having read and understood the admissions criteria for the schools one is aiming for .

My son got 353 in Kent test, can some one advise which schools he might potentially get for IN, OUT catchment criteria.

Thanks
