Exam guide Two schools

The Shepway Test (Folkestone School for Girls and Harvey Grammar School)

Who sits it. Children in Year 6, for a place in Year 7 in September 2027: sat on Saturday 12 September 2026.

Checked against the sources below on 22 September 2026. Dates and arrangements change: the schools’ own admissions pages are always the final word.

Remelia and this exam

What Remelia covers, and what it does not.

Choose any of these schools when you set your child up, or later in Controls, and this is the plan.

What Remelia covers

Key Stage 2 maths and English to the end of Year 5, counted towards the exam; the writing, in part.

  • Maths

    The Key Stage 2 objectives for Years 3 to 5, in the order your child’s school teaches them, counted towards the exam.

  • English

    Grammar, punctuation, spelling and vocabulary questions most days, Years 3 to 5, counted towards the exam.

  • Reading

    From the autumn of Year 5, a weekly reading day: one unseen passage and 9 questions on it, from a bank of 130 passages.

  • The writing In part

    Short timed pieces that a grown-up marks at home with ticks: one a fortnight from the spring of Year 4, one a week from the autumn of Year 5. They practise part of what the exam’s writing asks; they are not its paper, and they are not counted towards the exam.

  • The last fortnight

    In the last 14 days before the exam date the plan works to, sessions are shorter and nothing new is introduced. The plan works to September of Year 6; until the schools publish the day for your child’s year, that date is an estimate.

Not covered

Verbal reasoning, non-verbal reasoning and the test’s own format.

  • Verbal reasoning

    Remelia does not teach verbal reasoning.

  • Non-verbal reasoning

    Remelia does not teach non-verbal reasoning.

  • The test itself

    Remelia practises the content, not Quest Assessments’ own screens, papers or timings: the familiarisation materials, where there are any, show those.

  • Printable English papers

    The printable practice papers in the parents’ app are maths only.

The schools

Two schools, one test.

Each school takes its own applications and decides its own offers. Places are as each school’s page gives them, where it does.
