Nearly 12,000 pupils across Kent will today be sitting the second part of the Kent Test. The children, the majority of whom are aged 10, completed the verbal and non-verbal reasoning papers yesterday. They have a maths test and writing compostition to do today.

The test will decide which children will be offered a place at a Kent grammar school. Around a quarter of the county’s children pass the test.

Families will find out whether or not their children have been selected for grammar school in about a month's time.
