11+ entrance test
The Bexley Selection Test
The Bexley Selection Test is a single 11+ test used for admission to all four Bexley grammar schools, with one registration through Bexley Council. Reaching the selective standard makes a child eligible to be considered, but does not guarantee a place unless they are among the top 180 scorers.
