KCC regulations covering data released through Freedom of Information requests place considerable restrictions on what is available where small numbers are involved.

This bears little resemblance to the 2020 offer figures below, as children from outside the two districts take up places in the four schools.
Apart from The Harvey Grammar School and Folkestone School for Girls, which offer the same test, each sets its own test, along with the pass standard. Both the Folkestone and Dover Tests take place on the same day, inhibiting dual applications.
