Background:

 

This report requested that the Cabinet agree a change in date of the publication of the Medway Test results from 8 October to 16 October 2024.

 

The report explained that the Cabinet had previously approved the 2025 school admission schemes on 19 December 2023, including the publication date of the Medway Test results.

 

The Council had since been made aware that the provider would not be able to provide the Medway Test results within the necessary timescale to enable results to be published on 8 October. This was because the changes to the Medway Test papers for September 2024 meant the test provider had an extra paper to mark per candidate. It was therefore requested that the Cabinet agree to the change to the result publication date.
