Barton Court Grammar School

Longport Canterbury Kent CT1 1PH

“We are a coeducational Grammar School set around an ancient lake in beautiful walled grounds on the edge of Canterbury. We have just over 900 students on roll, including a Sixth Form of over 200. Our Pupil Admissions Number (PAN), which is the number of students that are allowed to enter in Year 7, is 120. Key Stage 3 is completed in two years, i.e. by the end of Year 8 which allows for a three year Key Stage 4 by the end of Year 11. A number of GCSE subjects are, therefore, taken by students at the end of Year 10 and this enables us to plan an enrichment program in the time saved. In the sixth form all our students study for the International Baccalaureate which is recognised and highly valued world wide. A new development for the academic year 08-09 is the introduction of seven Focus Days, spread across the year, when the timetable is suspended and all students in the School participate in a variety of activities to significantly widen their extra-curricular experiences further.”
