	Allhallows Parish Council - Medway Ward Councillors Report 2007
		We are pleased to report that the Hoo Peninsula is no longer considered a separate area for education and is now accepted as part of the selective Grammar School Scheme.
		This means that parents who want their children to take the selective test should have the choice of sending their children to one of Medway’s grammar school but the Hundred of Hoo School is deemed to have a grammar stream within it and is therefore being given as the nearest appropriate school.
		The Peninsula Councillors are determined to widen access to grammar schools for children on the Hoo Peninsula.

	History (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The Hoo peninsula is dominated by a line of sand and clay hills surrounded by an extensive area of marshland composed of alluvial silt.
		Some authorities state it means 'a hill' whilst others affirm it to be a 'heel of land.' The latter is probably correct, as the land runs out into the form of a heel between the two rivers, the Thames and the Medway.
		For administrative purposes, Hoo is still classed as a village but it has grown to town-like proportions because of the vast growth of Industry that has developed.

		The existing terminus at Denton was demolished, this being superseded by a much more conveniently sited through station in Gravesend town centre, but the original station at Strood remained for SER usage - before this it had been the terminus for barges, and adapted by the G and RR for the acceptance of rails.
