Homewood School 11 Plus Admissions

 

Year 7 entry to Homewood School is coordinated in conjunction with Kent County Council. In cases where the number of applications exceed available places, the following criteria is used, giving priority to:

 

  • Looked After or Previously Looked After children
  • Students who demonstrate high aptitude in the Kent Test (20% of intake, 78 students in total)
  • Students who already have a sibling at the school
  • Pupils who live closest to the school

 

For more information on the admissions process at Homewood School, please visit the Kent County Council website.

 

How to Apply for 11 Plus Entry to Homewood School

 

Year 7 applications to Homewood School are handled by the coordinated admission scheme under Kent County Council. Homewood uses the Kent Test to determine admission and parents must register online with the LA in the first instance.

 

Once students have taken the 11+ Kent Test, parents are required to complete the Common Application Form (CAF) and submit it to the LA. This process can usually be done online. Parents will receive their child’s test results from the Council in October, with offers sent out in March.

 

Homewood School 11 Plus Exam Format

 

Twenty percent of Homewood School’s intake (78 pupils) is made with reference to ability or aptitude. All students who register for the Kent Test will be invited to take the assessment.

 

The Kent Test consists of two multiple-choice tests:

 

  1. An hour-long exam that is divided into two sections that cover English and maths. Each section consists of a 5-minute practice exercise and a 25-minute test.
  2. A 60-minute test that focuses on reasoning. It is divided into three sections: verbal reasoning, non-verbal reasoning and spatial reasoning

 

Pupils must also complete a 40-minute writing task. However, this does not form part of the final 11 Plus result but is used only in borderline or appeal cases.

 

How to Prepare for the Homewood School 11 Plus Exam?

 

Kent is known for being a competitive grammar school region, and most schools are oversubscribed for Year 7 entry. In order for students to have the best chance of gaining one of the 78 places at Homewood School, they should invest additional time into studying and revising in the build-up to the test.

 

Parents should help their child prepare by creating a study timetable that outlines what topics need to be studied and when.

 

In addition to working from a study schedule, we recommend that students use practice exam papers to help boost their confidence ahead of the test.
