Greenvale Primary School

The Medway Test has three papers: 1. English — comprehension, punctuation and grammar (30 minutes). 2. Mathematics (50 minutes). 3. Reasoning — a combined paper with verbal, non-verbal and spatial reasoning components (about 45 minutes). Papers are multiple-choice and scores are age-standardised. There is no resit and no remarking of any Medway Test paper. Pass mark: there is no fixed pass mark. The aggregate score (maximum 700 — English and maths standardised scores double-weighted, plus reasoning) is compared to a threshold set fresh each year: the level that includes roughly the top 25% of Medway Year 6 children. The threshold is published with results in October; passing makes a child eligible, and each school's oversubscription criteria then apply. The Medway Test is completely separate from the Kent Test — a different test, different registration, different format (the Kent Test combines English & maths into one paper and includes an unmarked writing task). Chatham Grammar is the one Medway school that accepts either test.
