Grammar schools in Kent accepted more than 1-thousand-500 children who had not passed the eleven plus - according to figures from a campaign group .
Stats seen by kmfm show in 2017, Kent's selective schools took in the highest number of children who had failed the test out of all the remaining 164 grammars in the country.
Parents can appeal their child's result, but before this, primary headteachers review results and can reclassify failures as passes.
Comprehensive Future who're against selection say the figures suggested some grammars were struggling to fill places.
