Who gets the places

  1. Reaching the selective mark makes a child eligible, but does not guarantee a place.
  2. The 180 highest scorers go into the top priority group for their preferred Bexley grammar school.
  3. Most other places are offered by distance from home to school.
  4. If places are left, children one mark below the selective score are considered next.
Where you live
No fixed catchment in the council summary. Home-to-school distance decides most places after the top 180 scorers.
