Schools
| School | Gender | First choices per place | Qualifying score | Latest published offer data | Children from outside the catchment |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Beths Grammar School Bexley | Boys | 1.0 (2026) | – | Sept 2025 entry
| Yes Boys who pass the Bexley selection test can apply from anywhere. After looked-after children, the boys with the 180 highest Bexley test scores get priority wherever they live; then siblings, staff children and up to 12 pupil-premium boys (by distance); remaining places go by straight-line distance to the school's Hartford Road entrance. Boys who just miss the Bexley pass but passed the Kent test may be considered last. (192 places for 2027 entry.) |
| Bexley Grammar School Welling | Mixed | 1.6 (2026) | – | Sept 2022 entry (older data)
| Yes Children who pass the Bexley selection test can apply from anywhere. Children with one of the highest 180 scores in the Bexley test get priority wherever they live; most remaining places then go by straight-line distance from home to school (after siblings and other priority groups), so children living far away are unlikely to get a distance place. (Arrangements as described for 2023 entry; check the school's current arrangements.) |
| Chislehurst and Sidcup Grammar School Sidcup | Mixed | 1.6 (2026) | – | Sept 2022 entry (older data)
| Yes Children who pass the Bexley selection test can apply from anywhere. Children with one of the highest 180 scores in the Bexley test get priority wherever they live; most remaining places then go by straight-line distance from home to school (after siblings and other priority groups), so children living far away are unlikely to get a distance place.

| Townley Grammar School Bexleyheath | Girls | 0.8 (2026) | – | Sept 2022 entry (older data)
| Yes Children who pass the Bexley selection test can apply from anywhere. Children with one of the highest 180 scores in the Bexley test get priority wherever they live; most remaining places then go by straight-line distance from home to school (after siblings and other priority groups), so children living far away are unlikely to get a distance place.

A qualifying score makes a child eligible; places then go by each school's oversubscription rules (often distance, catchment or score order), so the lowest score offered can be well above it. Offer data shows the last child offered a place in each group in that intake; it does not mean every child at that score or distance got a place. First choices per place: DfE applications and offers (official), latest intake. Qualifying scores, offer data and catchment rules: research, with sources and caveats on each school's page.
