    The Boy's Grammar having to have a 'special test' to make up numbers since there are not enough locals who can pass the Kent Test (while in places like Sevenoaks there are not enough grammar school places for all who can pass! It's called assortative breeding.) Fact.

    Entrance to DGSB is through successful completion of either the Kent Test or our own Dover Grammar School for Boys entrance test.


    A few years ago, a work colleague was distraught that her son had passed the test, but didn't get a place because they were, apparently, oversubscribed (i.e. more people passed the test than there were places).

    Said lad was from here, but they took people from as far away as Hythe. Seems a bit hard on talented locals.

    DGSB always had a large Deal complement. Two buses a day. The 128 and the 129 iirc.
