Eligibility

Girls deemed selective by the London Borough of Bexley are considered in the first allocation. A girl deemed selective whose education, health and care plan names Townley is admitted.

Score policy

Selectivity is based on the total weighted age-standardised Bexley score. Pupil-premium candidates are ranked by descending score, with criterion 3 reaching at most two per cent below the selective standard. If places remain after the selective allocation, further offers are made in descending aggregate-score order.

Oversubscription

After selective education, health and care plans naming Townley, priority is: looked-after and previously looked-after children; 20 pupil-premium places at the qualifying score ranked by score then distance; if fewer than 20 are filled, further pupil-premium places down to two per cent below the selective score; girls in Bexley's highest 180 scores; siblings; children of eligible staff; then distance. An equal-distance tie is resolved by aggregate score, then random allocation.
