Medway Test: 11+

Medway Test results will be sent on Wednesday 16 October 2024.

If you registered online you will be sent an email after 10am on results day.

We cannot guarantee the time you will receive your email, as this will depend on your email provider.

We have no control over emails once they are sent. Check your junk or spam folders if you have not received your results in your inbox. 

If you registered on paper, you will be sent a letter by first class post on results day.

We cannot give out test scores over the phone. If you have not received your child's result by 18 October 2024, email medwaytest@medway.gov.uk.

Details the results will include

The results will give you:

• your child’s total score
• a breakdown of the scores for each paper
• a decision on if your child is assessed as suitable for a grammar or non-grammar
• details of what you need to do next.

If your child has been assessed as suitable for grammar, it does not guarantee them a grammar school place. Like other schools, grammar schools can get more applications than they have places for. If this happens, the schools must use their oversubscription criteria to decide who can be offered places. You can read the schools' oversubscription criteria for more information.

What we cannot provide

Medway Council is unable to provide the following:

• raw scores
• percentages
• scores for each test paper
• pass mark or percentage required for each test
• the highest score achieved for each paper
• the overall lowest/highest score achieved
• the standardisation calculation.

This information is commercially sensitive and exempt from Section 43 (1) & (2) of the Freedom of Information Act.

Section 43(1) provides an exemption from disclosure for information which is a trade secret. 

Section 43(2) exempts information whose disclosure would, or would be likely to, prejudice the commercial interests of any legal person (an individual, a company, the public authority itself or any other legal entity). 

English test

We understand the test may not have been as long as you were expecting, and we appreciate this might have caused confusion.

The test time (30 minutes) was correct. This time is the same for every school and will be the same for all other children sitting the test this year. This is except for a small proportion of children who have special testing arrangements due to their special educational needs and disabilities.

The test is bespoke to Medway and therefore cannot be compared to other English tests. Although children may have used practice papers found elsewhere or even sat other entrance exams, they are not comparable to the Medway Test.

As the correct time was given to all children at the start of the test, there will be no dispensation given as well as no re-sit or re-marking.

What to do after you get your results

If your child was assessed as non-grammar and you're unhappy with the result of the test, you can still apply for grammar schools. We recommend that if you wish to do this, you name a mixture of grammar and non-grammar schools on your application form as we will not be able to offer a grammar school on national offer day (3 March 2025). Instead, you'll be given the right of appeal for the grammar schools you name. You can then submit appeal requests after you receive your school application outcome on 3 March 2025.
