About the Bexley 11+
One Test, Four Schools
Bexley has 4 grammar schools — 1 boys', 1 girls', and 2 co-educational — all using the unified Bexley Selection Test administered by the London Borough of Bexley. One registration and one test covers applications to all four schools.
The test is provided by Quest Assessments and consists of two multiple-choice papers covering Verbal Ability & English Comprehension, Numerical Reasoning, and Non-Verbal Reasoning. Scores are age-standardised with a weighting of 50% verbal, 25% numerical, 25% non-verbal. Approximately 30% of test-takers achieve the selective standard each year. The top 180 scorers receive guaranteed grammar school placement priority. There is no catchment restriction — any child can sit the test.
