Medway Test
Around 2,185 children have registered to sit the Medway Test
this year, with all of Medway’s 62 maintained primaries holding the
test in their own schools, after the council gave them the option
to change testing arrangements during a consultation at the end of
last year.
The majority of primaries (43) have chosen to hold the test
within normal school hours on Tuesday, 18 and Wednesday, 19
September.
The remaining 19 will be holding the test in their own schools,
but have decided to hold it on Saturday, 22 September.
Three out of Medway’s four independent schools will also be
holding the test at their own school this year.
There will be two independent test centres – at Fort Pitt
Grammar School and Rochester Grammar School for Girls, open on
Saturday, 22 September, where children from out of the area and
from Kings School, Rochester, will be taking the test.
The Medway Test consists of three separate papers:
- An extended writing exercise
- A mathematics paper
- A verbal reasoning paper
The tests are specifically written for Medway and are designed
to select 23 per cent of children in the year group as assessed
suitable for grammar school education. A further two per cent are
selected through the review process.
