Everyone who visits BGS notices the warmth of the relationships between students and staff in a vibrant community.
Bexley Grammar School is an oversubscribed, high achieving, coeducational selective school, rated as 'Outstanding' by Ofsted in October 2022. We stretch our students with a challenging curriculum including two foreign languages and all three separate sciences at GCSE. We raise aspirations, grow confidence and develop young people into compassionate leaders. Our school motto translates as “to strive for excellence”.
About 50% of our students are non White British and over 20% have a first language other than English as their mother tongue. Although our pupil premium numbers are low compared to national averages they are high compared to other grammar schools and our school deprivation indicator puts us above the 40th percentile for all schools nationally.
We all learn best when we are happy, safe, busy, inspired and valued as individuals; every student is encouraged to choose from a startling array of extra-curricular activities, many of them rooted in our vibrant and competitive house system. These activities help students develop as individuals and as members of teams; they also provide numerous opportunities for leadership. We participate in World Challenge, Young Enterprise, the Jack Petchey Award and numerous other initiatives; our Language Leaders and Sports Leaders work with primary school children; there are clubs for everything from cheerleading to chess or from STEM club to Archery and if something is missing, students are encouraged and supported to start it.
There is a full programme of sports fixtures, concerts and plays during the year, an art exhibition and the annual musical production of near West End quality. A typical academic year clocks up about seventy day visits run by all subject areas in addition to a wide range of residential trips both in the UK and all over the world - typically 20 overseas trips in a given academic year.
Most students continue into our thriving Sixth Form, which plays a key role in leading the rest of the student body. All students follow the International Baccalaureate (IB) in the Sixth Form. The IB Diploma Programme (IBDP) is a full and well-balanced course which develops independence and depth of learning while nurturing the personal qualities needed for success at university and in a career. Our IB students gain places at top universities, including the highest rate of Oxford and Cambridge entry of any school in the London Borough of Bexley.
