How far offers reached
Each bar shows how far from The Judd School the last child offered a place lived, under the last admission rule the offers reached. Up to five years, on one scale.
Qualifying is not the same as being offered a place.
A score of 332 or more in the Kent Test (Kent Procedure for Entry to Secondary Education, PESE) means your child can be considered. If more children qualify than there are places, the school gives places using its admission rules, in order. The figures below show how far those rules reached in past years. They are history, not a prediction: they change every year with who applies.
