Derek Adams, Homewood's headteacher, has such an easy, relaxed manner, coupled with a deadpan delivery, that, after spending a few hours in his company, you could be fooled into thinking the school's success was an inevitability.
The school works a six-day curriculum week ("the students adapted to it rather better than the teachers") and a five-term year, and is committed to implementing the Tomlinson diploma in full, regardless of politicians.
Adams insists most teachers in Kent believe as passionately as he does in non-selective education, but are forced to spend much of their time fighting to get the best deal for their schools.

Adams Grammar School in Newport produced three county individual champions and formed a team which entered the league and, as Newport Greens, won the title in 1970!
The Priory School in Shrewsbury also produced quality players for Shrewsbury Chess Club who thus were able to field two teams, "Blues" a nd "Reds" which, with a team from RAF Cosford, brought the 1968 league up to six teams.
Indeed without the school chess academies and their enthusiastic teachers, especially at Priory School and Adams Grammar School, it is difficult to see how the Shropshire Chess Association could have survived this time of change.
