Individual School Information
(updated 24 July 2010)
The page contains links to entries on every oversubscribed state secondary school, all Academies in Kent and Medway and some others. Primary Schools are on a separate page. Entries are updated as time permits. If you want information on a particular school or comment on any entry below, let me know and if relevant, I will include it on this page. There is considerable information about some schools on other relevant pages. General information and commentary on Academies is here.
Thanks to those who have already sent in corrections or additions. I am happy to receive further comments and information.
If you are considering a school the OFSTED Report and School Performance Table are useful sources of information. With regard to the latter, the value added pages are often a more significant guide than the absolute performance. This is because the performance tables reflect the academic ability of the pupils as well as the quality of the teaching, and some school will focus on entering pupils for particular courses or else concentrating on performance in the tables at the extent of the quality of education. The latter is particularly evident at Key Stage 2 in Primary Schools. Do not just look at the first page of the tables, there is much valuable information on subsequent pages.
Where there is no mention of the school, it will usually have spare places. Where an Appeal Panel is not mentioned for an oversubscribed or grammar school, it will have used a Kent or Medway Council Appeal Panel.
The Level of oversubscription (if any) of first choices for September 2010, on 2nd March, is indicated at the end of each entry. For grammar schools the figure relates only to children who have pased the Kent or Medway test. Clearly there has been significant movement on waiting lists for many schools since then, so most of thes figures will have fallen.
