How you get a place
Mostly allocated by distance, but with a tier of places reserved for the highest scorers. A very strong score can get you in from outside the usual catchment.
- Criteria one to seven are distance-based, including a named-parishes and four-mile band.
- Criterion eight allocates 17 Governors' Places ranked purely by Kent Test score.
Does it run its own test?
No. Entry is through the Kent Test only.
What score is needed?
Tunbridge Wells Girls' Grammar School does not publish its cutoff scores, and neither does Kent County Council — no per-school figures are published for any Kent grammar. Numbers circulating on forums are unsourced, so we do not repeat them. What we can tell you is that at a school ranking by score, the bar sits well above the county threshold of 332.
Work out where a score lands
The Kent Test calculator turns practice paper marks into an estimated standardised score, adjusted for your child’s age, and checks it against the published threshold.
