Hi tigger2

It might be an idea to put this in the Medway section too.

I know a fair number of children at Kings. They have fantastic facilities, especially sporting and musical and the children I know are all happy, well-adjusted etc.

I believe (based on anecdotal evidence about shrinking staff numbers) that the numbers attending have fallen a little in recent years, but that is not surprising in this economy and the good local GS which absorb a lot of the pupils which an equivalent school would get elsewhere. They seem to get good results when you consider that they don't (at least at the lower levels) test for entry.
