Dover College Infant and Junior Department prides itself on encouraging each child to reach its full potential.

Ongoing assessments and pupil tracking ensure that pupils capable of sitting the Grammar school entry test are clearly identified.

In the last few years, all the children who have been advised to take the Kent Test have successfully been offered a place into a Grammar School, although many have elected to remain at Dover College and progress into the Senior School.

Dover College Infants and Juniors sit the SATs examinations.
