Eligibility

Children whose age-standardised Bexley Selection Test score is above the standard prescribed by Bexley for selective schools are eligible. A child deemed selective whose education, health and care plan names the school is admitted before other places are allocated.

Score policy

Eligibility requires an age-standardised Bexley Selection Test score above the local-authority selective standard. The highest 180 standardised scores receive priority, and higher test score resolves a distance tie to 0.001 mile.

Oversubscription

After selective education, health and care plans naming the school, priority is: looked-after and previously looked-after children; up to 12 selective pupil-premium applicants ranked by distance; children in Bexley's highest 180 scores; siblings in Years 7 to 11; children of staff employed for at least two years; then straight-line distance. Equal distance to 0.001 mile is resolved by higher test score.
