Understanding Bexley Grammar School Qualification

With grammar school places in Bexley highly sought after, Easter offers Sidcup families a valuable opportunity to give their child’s 11 Plus preparation an extra boost ahead of the final months.
Here’s what’s worth knowing about 11 Plus preparation in Bexley:

Bexley Selection Test Overview

Instead of asking children to sit four different grammar school exams, Bexley operates a borough-wide Bexley Selection Test covering all four schools. Pupils sit the test once, with the resulting score used when considering their grammar school preferences.

Bexley Council Top Scores Priority

There is strong competition for the highest rankings. Under Bexley Council’s published admissions guidance, the 180 children achieving the top scores receive guaranteed priority for a place at the Bexley grammar school they have placed first on their preference list.

Chislehurst and Sidcup Grammar School Places

Sidcup families have Chislehurst and Sidcup Grammar School close to home, offering 192 Year 7 places without a catchment area. Another nearby option is Beths Grammar School in Bexley, which is a boys’ grammar school and has published 192 Year 7 places for September 2027.

Bexley Selection Test Statistics

The figures show just how competitive the process can be. In the September 2026 admissions cycle, 5,866 children sat the Selection Test, but only 2,070, or around 35%, were considered selective according to Chislehurst and Sidcup Grammar School’s published statistics.

About 11 Plus Tutoring

"Building Confidence in Maths "

Easter gave one Sidcup pupil the chance to reset their 11 Plus preparation. They joined our course with particular difficulty in numerical reasoning and multi-step Maths questions. Through targeted teaching, timed practice and regular tutor feedback, they became more confident approaching unfamiliar problems and developed a more consistent approach to working under time pressure.

"Growing Confidence in Non-Verbal Reasoning "

After struggling with unfamiliar non-verbal reasoning questions, one Year 5 pupil needed a more focused approach. The Easter course provided regular practice with patterns, sequences, shapes and transformations alongside timed activities. With consistent tutor support, the pupil became more comfortable tackling visual reasoning questions and more confident working independently.

11 Plus Easter Revision - FAQs Explained

How useful is Easter for 11 Plus preparation in Sidcup?
For Year 5 pupils in Sidcup, the Easter holidays provide a valuable opportunity to revisit difficult topics, strengthen weaker skills and make progress before the Bexley Selection Test.
Which grammar schools do Sidcup pupils prepare for?
Sidcup pupils commonly prepare for Chislehurst and Sidcup Grammar School and Beths Grammar School, while the same Bexley Selection Test result can also be used for Townley Grammar School and Bexley Grammar School.

Admission is competitive, with 192 Year 7 places and no catchment area. In the latest published figures, only around 35% of children who took the Bexley Selection Test were assessed as selective.

Easter revision is most effective when it forms part of a wider preparation plan. The eight-day course provides focused practice, addresses learning gaps and helps pupils build confidence before the final preparation period.

Regular timed exercises help children become more familiar with different question types while improving pace and accuracy. Mock papers also allow pupils to practise managing their time across the Bexley test format.
