Who gets the places
- Reaching the selective mark makes a child eligible, but does not guarantee a place.
- The 180 highest scorers go into the top priority group for their preferred Bexley grammar school.
- Most other places are offered by distance from home to school.
- 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.
