Medway Test

If you'd like your child to be considered for a grammar school they will need to sit the Medway Test.

Once you register your child for the Medway Test, they will sit it and receive their results before the closing date for secondary school applications. This is to help you make an informed decision when applying for secondary schools.

Test papers

The Medway Test is made up of three separate papers:

  • Extended Writing
  • Mathematics (multiple choice)
  • Verbal Reasoning (multiple choice)

These tests are written specifically for Medway Council and are designed to assess and select 23 per cent of the children in the year group as suitable for grammar school. Up to a further two per cent can be selected through the review process.
