Invicta Grammar School is a grammar school with academy status in Maidstone, Kent. The school caters for girls between the ages of 11 and 18. Some boys are accepted into the sixth form.
The School has previously been known as Maidstone School for Girls and, before that, and Maidstone Technical High School For Girls.
Invicta became a specialist Business and Enterprise College in September 2003. The school received an achievement award from the Department for Education and Skills in 2000, 2001 and 2002. It also has the Artsmark Gold and Sportsmark awards.
Our students at Invicta achieved 72% A*/A grades, with 34% at A* in their GCSE studies and 69% A*-B grades, with 10.5% A* in their A Level studies in 2016; a superb achievement for the school that not only does this but raises over £48,000 for charity in one year!
Invicta comprises several buildings. The reception is housed in the Main Building, which links to the dining hall,assembly hall and most form rooms (although not all). There is a purpose built drama studio as well as a gym. The site also includes the Albion Building, hosting a range of subjects including languages, science and textiles and the Orchard Building, opened in 2005 which primarily houses the Maths department and the Orchard Library (commonly known as the Resources Centre). The Izatt Building was opened in 2014 and the English department is based there together with a dance studio and reading room.
