What Bexley Grammar School does

Bexley Grammar School is a UK state-funded grammar school located in Welling, Kent (DA16 2BL), operating as an academy under the Penhill Academies Trust. Founded in 1955 with a staff of 51-100, the school delivers selective secondary education from Year 7 through Year 13, preparing students for GCSEs, A Levels, and the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme. Its academic results place it among the Top 50 UK schools in the Sunday Times Parent Power league tables and in the top 20% nationally for student progress at KS4, with a 2025 record-high 35-point IB average and outcomes equivalent to 83% A*-B at A Level.

The school's academic offering spans 18+ subjects, with specialist departments in Art, Classics, Computer Science, Design Technology, and Modern Languages, alongside STEAM (formerly STEM) enrichment. Technical teaching infrastructure includes Zappar augmented reality for Design Technology, Solidworks and Techsoft 2D Design CAD software, 3D printers, laser cutters, and Python/Java programming curricula for GCSE and IB Computer Science. Over 40 co-curricular clubs (including robotics, Girls Who Code, a symphony orchestra, and a samba group) and partnerships with Young Enterprise, the Jack Petchey Foundation, and Actors of Dionysus extend learning beyond the classroom.

The school's go-to-market is event-driven and selective: prospective families engage through annual Open Events and The Bexley Selection Test (11+ examination) for Year 7 entry, with additional Year 12 Sixth Form admissions and bursary support. Core education is free at point of use, funded through UK state per-pupil allocations; ancillary revenue consists of a one-time admissions testing fee and voluntary parental contributions via the School Fund. Marketing operates through the official website, e-newsletters, social media (Facebook Parents' Association and Alumni groups), an annual prospectus, and an annual school magazine.
