Mathematics Aptitude Test
Westlands School is a non-selective school and children will not need to sit the Kent 11+ to be considered for entry to this school. However, parents can make a separate application to Westlands School if they would like to apply for admission based on their child’s aptitude in mathematics. Application forms for admission by aptitude are available from the Headteacher and should be returned to the school when completed. The mathematics aptitude test is taken after the “Common Application Form” has been lodged with the Local Authority (LA).
