About the School

 

Address — Sir Roger Manwood’s School, Manwood Road, Sandwich, Kent, CT13 9JX

Type of school — Mixed grammar school

Cost — Free

Pupils in school — 1000+

Places available in year 7 — 150+

Average applicants per place — 3 or more

Catchment area —  Sir Roger Manwood’s School does have a catchment area which is based on distance from the school. It includes the following postcodes: CT3, CT11, CT12, CT13, CT14, CT15 or CT16 and anyone living within a radius of 8.5 miles from the school.

Oversubscription policy — Before the application of oversubscription criteria, students with an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) which names the school and who have passed the assessment will be admitted. As a result of this the published admissions number will be reduced accordingly.

Where qualifying applications for admission exceed the number of places available, places will be allocated in the following order of priority:

  1. Children who are looked after and previously looked after children.

  2. Children with a brother or sister attending the school at the time of entry. 

  3. Children in receipt of Pupil Premium who live within a CT3, CT11, CT12, CT13, CT14, CT15 or CT16 postcode and who live within a radius of 8.5 miles from Sir Roger Manwood’s School - closest first.

  4. Children of staff at the school where a member of staff has been employed at the school for two or more years at the time at which the application for admission was made and/or the member of staff is recruited to fill a vacant post for which there is a demonstrable skill shortage. 

  5. Nearness of the child’s home to the school - Those living nearest are accorded the highest priority. 

School Summary

Sir Roger Manwood’s School was founded in 1563 and is a mixed grammar school in Sandwich, Kent. It became an academy in 2011. The school used to take on students as boarders, but this ended in 2020.

The school specialises in languages, mathematics and computing. It has also won the International School award.

Exam Information

Exam style —GL Assessment/The Kent Test

Exam topic:

  • Reasoning

    • Verbal, non-verbal and spatial

  • English and maths

  • Creative writing

Exam length — 2 x 1 hour exams + a 40-minute writing exercise.

Pass rate — In recent years, 15,000+ applicants took the Kent test; only 6,500 passed.

Other exam information:

  • The reasoning, English and maths tests are multiple-choice with a separate answer sheet.

  • The first test will be an English and Maths paper. Each section will include a 5 minute practice exercise followed by a 25 minute test. The English section will involve a comprehension exercise as well as some additional questions drawn from a set designed to test literacy skills.

  • The second test will be the reasoning paper. It will take about 1 hour, including the practice sections and questions. It will contain a verbal reasoning section and a non-verbal reasoning section of roughly the same length. The non-verbal reasoning will be split into short sections, administered and timed individually.

  • Finally, there will also be a writing exercise which will not be marked but may be used by a local headteacher panel as part of the headteacher assessment stage of the process. 40 minutes will be allowed for the writing task, including 10 minutes planning time.

Scores:

  • Your child will get three standardised scores (one for English, one for maths and one for reasoning) and a total (aggregate) score.

  • Standardisation is a statistical process which compares your child's performance with the average performance of other children in each test. A slight adjustment is made to take account of each child's age so that the youngest are not at a disadvantage.

Pass mark:

To qualify, children needed a total score of 332 or more, with no single score lower than 108. Test scores range from 69 to 141. The highest possible total score is 423.

If your child did not reach this threshold score and their primary school referred their case to the local Head Teacher Assessment Panel, the panel will have looked at their achievement in school and examples of their work, including the writing task completed on the day, before a final decision was made.

Please note that a score of over 332 does NOT mean your child is guaranteed a place at your chosen school.

  • 20 minutes of maths.

  • 10 minutes of non-verbal reasoning.

  • 30 minutes of English comprehension and verbal reasoning.

  • 30-minute break.

  • 15 minutes of problem-solving.

  • 25 minutes for the final analysis component.

Interviews — Children who perform well in the entrance tests are called back for interview; reports from current schools are also taken into account.

Other exam and entry information: 

  • The 11+ tests take place in the December of Year 6. Students will sit the tests in their current school.

  • The exam is fully online. An onscreen timer will count down how many minutes remain in each section.

  • Questions will be based on the National Curriculum for Year 5, but with opportunities for additional challenge built into the assessment.

  • New questions to assess problem-solving and analysis skills have been added for 2022.

    • The problem-solving section will test a child’s ability to use words and numbers to solve problems with multiple steps.

    • The analysis component asks candidates to use information from a variety of different given sources, in order to answer questions. The context of this section is likely to be unfamiliar to all candidates but in the event of a candidate being familiar with the context, they will not have any advantage.

  • The first three sections of the exam before the break will be adaptive, meaning questions change and are tailored to the student's performance in previous questions. The last two sections of the exam are non-adaptive, and all students will receive the same questions.

  • A non-refundable fee of £150 is charged to sit the 11+ entrance exam for Francis Holland School Sloane Square.

  • Registrations must be submitted by the end of November when your child is in Year 6.
