Rose Hill School 11+ success
Rose Hill School pupils were celebrating yesterday following a very successful year of 11+ results with nearly 90% of children passing the Kent Test. The pass rate has risen from 72% in 2018 to 88% in 2019 a significant increase under the new leadership of Head, Emma Neville and Deputy Head, Philippa Lang-Daly.
Head, Emma Neville said: “I am delighted at the results this year; Rose Hill School pupils have continued to respond impressively to the changing demands of the Kent 11+ system. These results will offer our pupils a fantastic choice when it comes to selecting their future schools.”
A significant proportion of pupils also achieved the highest scores in maths, English and reasoning following significant curriculum development since Philippa Lang-Daly’s appointment a year ago.
Philippa Lang-Daly said “Rose Hill staff are highly reflective and use evidence-informed teaching to improve outcomes for pupils year on year. Added breadth and a personalised approach means we are able to support and extend the individual talents and aspirations of all of our pupils.”
