Greenhithe, Swanscombe and the new Ebbsfleet streets are a short drive from our in-person lessons in Dartford, and children can join the live online lessons from home. We teach Pre 11+ (Year 4), the 11+ and the Kent Test (Year 5) and KS2 SATs (Year 6).
Few places are named by as many grammar schools. Swanscombe and Greenhithe is a named parish at both Wilmington schools and on Gravesend Grammar School’s first list of parishes, DA9 and DA10 are on Mayfield’s first list of postcode areas, and the parish is in the Borough of Dartford, which counts at Dartford Grammar School for Girls.

11+ lessons for Greenhithe families
That spread means a Greenhithe family can plan two ways. Where the score decides, at the two Dartford schools and at Mayfield within its postcode area, the Year 5 lessons build the total paper by paper. Where distance or residence decides, at Gravesend Grammar and the Wilmington schools, the lessons make sure of the grammar assessment itself: 345 in total this year, no score below 111.
In person in Dartford or live online, a free intro session comes first.
