Invicta Grammar School
School summary
A selective girls' grammar in Maidstone, Invicta carries an Outstanding rating from Ofsted across every category inspected, including its sixth form. Entry at 11 runs through the Kent Test, and the school is notably large: with around 1,645 pupils against a stated capacity of 1,319, it operates well over its nominal size. Roughly one in five pupils speaks English as an additional language, while the proportion on free school meals and receiving SEN support sits relatively low. Families seeking a high-performing, academically focused environment for an able daughter will find a clear fit here.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
An Outstanding, heavily oversubscribed Maidstone grammar where results speak loudly. Strong candidates who can navigate the Kent Test should find an environment built for high achievers.
That’s where Passmate comes in. Tutoring is the most effective thing in a child’s preparation - a well-tutored child can outperform the vast majority of their peers. Passmate works alongside your tutor, not instead of them: it learns how your child thinks, finds the gaps, and shows the tutor exactly where to spend each session - so the limited time you have lands on what actually decides a place.
Works alongside your child’s tutor - not instead of them.
