In addition to the above, the following boys passed the Sevenoaks School 13+ pre-assessment tests and will confirm their places following the June Common Entrance examinations: Toby Evenden, Alex Jee, Matthew Moore (Music Scholarship), Daniel Moss, Oliver Pickering and Jamie Richardson. Entrance to Tonbridge School, Worth School, Sutton Valence and King's Rochester are also decided by the Common Entrance Exams in June.
From Year 7, Amelia Roache has been offered places at both Benenden and Walthamstow Hall schools.
Further exam successes were achieved by our Year 6 pupils although final destination schools have not been determined in some cases due to the 11+ appeals and reallocation process. Following the Kent 11+ test, fourteen out of the eighteen who sat the test have been offered grammar school places. Three children have received offers from Judd, six from Tunbridge Wells Grammar School for Boys and one each from Skinners’, Tonbridge Grammar School for Girls, Wilmington Grammar School for Girls, Weald of Kent and Gravesend Grammar.
We have also received excellent results from the candidates who sat Independent Schools’ entrance exams in
