The AIM story

AIM Kent was set up in 2015 by a group of three mums who wanted to 'level the playing field' for grammar school access.

Zoe, Kate and Kimberley were chatting over a glass of wine, and realised that, living in Kent, they would all have to negotiate the 11+ Kent Test with their children once it came to secondary school admission. And that meant tutoring!

But a good 11+ tutor charges at least £40 per hour, every week in year 5. So how do low income families afford that??

So AIM was born! Our aim is to offer free  11+ preparation to bright children who would not otherwise receive it. Since then, AIM has grown to support thirty children every year from local, low income families. AIM is all about promoting fairness and achieving inclusivity. 

Our first cohort of AIM children have now taken their GCSEs and are studying for their A levels. We couldn't be prouder!
