Year 7 Admissions

This section of our website is intended for new students hoping to start at The Norton Knatchbull School in September 2025 and those considering applying for September 2026.

Free 11+ Familiarisation Materials

The Norton Knatchbull School is proud to be open to pupils from all backgrounds.

To encourage even greater representation of children at NKS, we work in partnership with Atom Learning, the leading online Key Stage 2 learning and 11+ preparation platform, to provide students who are eligible for pupil premium with free online learning and 11+ exam preparation. 

This programme is designed to familiarise children with the type of questions they may see on the Kent Test, and build technique and confidence. They'll be able to access KS2 and 11+ practice questions, learning resources, and practice papers through their Atom Home account.

If your child has been eligible for free school meals at any point in the last six years, please fill in the form by clicking the button below. They will be given free access to Atom Home when their pupil premium status has been verified by their primary school.
