[edit] Entrance examination

The school intended to use the entrance examination introduced by Dover Grammar School for Boys, but, after an objection by Kent County Council, it was ruled on July 8 2005 by the Schools Adjudicator that the school should use the county's selection test.^[1]

[edit] Radiation

The school was chosen at random by the Radiocommunications Agency, which has since been incorporated into Ofcom, as one of a number of schools for which the radiation exposure from cellphone transmitter towers should be measured. The measurements were made on November 23 2001. According to the measurements, the highest ICNIRP public exposure level on the site was over four-thousand times greater than the lowest level.^[2]
