Simon Langton Grammar School for Boys

Any boy who reaches the Kent selective standard is eligible, but 2027/28 oversubscription gives priority to "Boys whose Kent Test score is twenty or more marks above the pass mark". Order after looked-after children: 20+ boys with health/sibling/Pupil Premium grounds; 20+ boys within a 9-mile radius by proximity; then "Other qualifying boys".

Score-banded priority rather than a strict rank order: a Kent Test pass alone is eligible but ranks below boys 20+ marks over the pass mark. Has a Specialist Resourced Provision for autistic students.

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

Admission rules change each year. Always read the school's current admissions policy before you apply.
