Simon Langton Girls’ Grammar School is a single-sex grammar school in in Canterbury, Kent, England. The school originated in the Middle Ages as an educational foundation for children, emerging as a separate school for girls in 1881. The school's motto is "Meliora Sequamur", meaning "following the best". The school acquired specialist status in music and information and communication technology (ICT) in September 2005.
The school is 'selective' in its intake, with prospective Year 7 students having to take the Kent Procedure for Entrance to Secondary Education ("11+") examination. Around 155 new students are accepted every year at age 11, and around 10 students every year join the sixth form from other schools.
In the school's most recent Ofsted inspection (May 2007) it was rated 'Outstanding' in all areas. [cite web]
