I think you would be fine for Beths, last year Beths took all boys who qualified. Also your son's score of 392 in Kent is good, if it was in previous years, it would have been enough for Dartford, no more knows about this year, it may well be also, so list the schools in your order of true preference I think is the best advice and make sure you have a school listed that you know you'll get. All the best!

To add to Olucares advice, look in the Bexley and Kent sections of this forum also. Consider the journeys too - often the children have heavy school bags and sports kit. Greenwich to Dartford is a straightforward journey on the train but there is a 20 minute walk uphill from Dartford station to the school.
