Why Families in Teynham Choose 11 Plus Tuition
Across Teynham and the surrounding ME9 villages, families often start weighing up 11 Plus support once they look more closely at what the Kent Test actually covers and how far it goes beyond ordinary primary school lessons. The concerns that surface most:
Why 11 Plus Preparation Matters for Teynham Families
Teynham sits between Faversham and Sittingbourne, and its ME9 postcode gives local children priority for admission to both Swale Grammar Schools. Grammar School eligibility across Kent is determined by the Kent Test, administered by Kent County Council, which sets the standard for all selective schools in the county.
Borden Grammar School (boys) has a Published Admission Number (PAN) of 150 for the September 2027 entry, as confirmed in the official admission policy. Highsted Grammar School (girls) has a PAN of 150 for 2027, as confirmed in the official 2026-27 admissions policy.
The Kent Test is highly competitive, with a limited number of Grammar School places available across the county. Meeting the qualifying standard does not guarantee admission, as schools apply their own oversubscription criteria.
The Kent Test does not publish a fixed pass mark in advance. To qualify through the Kent Test, a child must achieve an aggregate score of at least 332 across the three Kent Test sections, with no individual score falling below 107. Kent County Council reviews pupil performance each year and determines the required qualifying threshold based on the cohort’s overall results.
With strong demand for Grammar School places and increasing competition across Kent, many families in Teynham choose to start 11 Plus preparation early. Structured tuition helps children build the skills, confidence, and exam techniques needed for the Kent Test.
Students We Support for the 11 Plus in Teynham
Families throughout Teynham’s ME9 postcode areas can access personalised 11 Plus support from Adnan Khan Tutoring. We work with children from Lynsted, Doddington, Rodmersham, and nearby villages along the A2 and the North Downs, as well as families in Faversham (ME13) and Sittingbourne (ME10). Our tuition supports pupils from local primary schools, including Teynham Parochial Church of England Primary School, Newington Church of England Primary School and many others across Kent.
Families living slightly further afield in areas such as Sheerness and Sittingbourne can also access our online 11 Plus tuition. Each programme is personalised to match local school requirements and each child’s individual preparation journey.
The majority of our students from Teynham are children in Years 3 to 5 who are working towards gaining places at local selective schools, including Borden Grammar School and Highsted Grammar School in Sittingbourne. We provide structured 11 Plus preparation to support them throughout their journey.
For September 2027 entry, Kent Test registration has now closed. Parents are advised to consult the latest Kent County Council guidance for important deadlines and eligibility.
Our support extends beyond the 11 Plus, with dedicated 12 Plus and 13 Plus tuition available for Teynham families seeking Grammar School opportunities at a later stage.
The Journey of a Teynham Student Improving Their 11 Plus Preparation
When a Teynham student joined us at the start of Year 4, she was already demonstrating excellent reading and comprehension skills and was working towards entry to Highsted Grammar School. However, Non-Verbal Reasoning was completely unfamiliar to her, and her Verbal Reasoning results varied when working under time pressure. After eighteen months of personalised weekly support, regular mock papers, and targeted practice, she developed the exam techniques and confidence needed for all four Kent Test subjects.
11 Plus Maths
Both the Kent Test and the Borden Assessment Procedure assess Maths through timed, multiple-choice questions at the Year 6 standard. Our sessions develop numerical reasoning, problem-solving, algebra and data interpretation in a structured order, with timed practice introduced early so children are fully comfortable with both formats well before September.
11 Plus English
English features in both test formats, covering comprehension, vocabulary, spelling and grammar accuracy under timed, multiple-choice conditions. Our lessons build reading precision, inference technique and technical accuracy in a way that directly reflects the English content children will face in both the Kent Test and the Borden Assessment Procedure.
11 Plus Verbal Reasoning
Verbal Reasoning runs through both test formats and relies on question types such as letter codes, analogies, word relationships, and logical sequences that the primary school curriculum doesn’t cover. We tackle each VR type in a clear progression, steadily adding timed practice so that accuracy and speed develop over the course of the preparation period.
11 Plus Non-Verbal Reasoning
Non-Verbal Reasoning appears in both the Kent Test and the Borden Assessment Procedure. It is consistently the area children find most unfamiliar at the start, since it has nothing in common with what they do in lessons. We take pupils through shape sequences, rule-spotting, rotations, reflections and matrix puzzles in a careful order, building the visual reasoning skills that turn uncertainty into a reliable method.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where can Teynham families find experienced online 11 Plus tuition?
Children across Teynham and the wider ME9 area can benefit from Adnan Khan Tutoring’s live, one-to-one online 11 Plus lessons. We help Year 3 to Year 5 pupils prepare confidently for Grammar School assessments, including the Kent Test and Borden Assessment Procedure.
Is Teynham ME9 in the priority zone for Borden and Highsted?
Yes. According to Borden Grammar School’s admissions policy, ME9 is in the priority postcode band. Highsted Grammar School uses a similar Swale-area priority structure for girls. Both schools allocate places within each priority band in score order, so reaching the grammar-eligible standard is essential even for ME9 applicants.
What is the Borden Assessment Procedure?
The Borden Assessment Procedure is a separate entrance test at Borden Grammar School, using Quest Assessments papers covering verbal ability, numerical reasoning, non-verbal reasoning and English. Boys who meet the required standard through either the Kent Test or the Borden Assessment Procedure are eligible for a Borden place under the same oversubscription criteria.
How does the Kent Test work?
The Kent Test is sat in primary schools on Thursday, 11 September 2026. Produced by GL Assessment, it covers Verbal Reasoning, English, Non-Verbal Reasoning and Maths. Kent County Council uses the results to determine grammar eligibility, with the standard agreed annually.
When should my child start 11 Plus tuition in Teynham?
Year 3 or Year 4 is the ideal starting point, giving the most time to cover both test formats thoroughly before Kent Test registration closes on 1 July 2026.
Is online 11 Plus tuition effective for Grammar School preparation?
Yes. Live, one-on-one online lessons with screen-sharing and real-time feedback are just as effective as in-person tuition and provide children with full preparation for both test formats without any travel.
Do you run 11 Plus mock exams?
Yes. We run timed mock exams in both the GL Assessment format for the Kent Test and the Quest Assessments format for the Borden Assessment Procedure, so students go into both tests fully prepared for the pace and question styles.
