11+ lessons for Northfleet families
A Northfleet boy aiming at Gravesend Grammar School needs the grammar assessment and then stands on distance, so his lessons make sure of every one of the three scores. A girl aiming at Mayfield is ranked by her total within the DA11 area, and anyone looking to Dartford competes on total from outside the local areas: 403 at Dartford Grammar School and 385 at Dartford Grammar School for Girls were the last scores offered for September 2026 entry. The lessons are set to the target.
