Students can test once each year for a place at MGGS. Our admission number for years 8-11 is 180 in each year group.
If your daughter would like to apply for a place into the school and sit our admission test, then please complete the In Year Casual Admission Form and Supplementary Information Form (SIF) and return this to the school via admissions@mggs.org.
Criteria for Admitting Students After the Start of the Academic Year
Students admitted at the start of Year 7 each academic year will be those who have been judged suitable for Grammar School education under the Kent selection procedure. Year 7 students applying for a place into Year 7 between September and December will take the Kent Test. From January, Year 7, students will take the school’s own In Year admissions test.
The In-Year Tests
Students can test once each year for a place at the school. If a student is unsuccessful following testing for a place into Year 7, then that student has the opportunity to test the following year for a place into Year 8. This applies to all year groups up to Year 11.
In-Year Appeals
Appeals resulting from In Year Admission applications will be heard within 30 school days of the appeal being lodged with Michelle Starns, Admissions Manager. Information on how to proceed with an appeal will be given at the time of writing to inform parents and carers of an unsuccessful test result.
