Beths Grammar School
Bexley, DA5 1NE · Bexley · Grammar school
4th of 16 secondary schools in Bexley we can score. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to the 575 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 8.6/10 among them, against 9.3/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.80 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 97.9 · 98 | 30% | 2.96 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.53 · 85 | 25% | 2.13 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 71.6 · 97 | 10% | 0.97 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
