How places are offered

No score above the grammar threshold is required to be eligible, but within each area criterion "Places will be allocated in the order (a) Highest aggregated score in the Kent PESE tests. (b) Proximity of the child's home to school."

The Mayfield procedure is an alternative, optional route: "an optional, additional opportunity to be assessed eligible", open to girls who have also taken the Kent Test ("where a girl has been unsuccessful in the Kent testing process"). It was sat at the school on Saturday 12 September 2026. Order: looked-after, siblings, first-priority postcode area (Free School Meals first), second-priority postcode area, then all others.

A higher Kent Test score gives priority for a place here.
