What the entrance test covers

One shared test for all four Bexley grammar schools, assessing three areas: 1. Verbal ability and English comprehension. 2. Numerical reasoning (maths-based). 3. Non-verbal reasoning. Multiple-choice, age-standardised. One sitting covers all four schools. Registration is unusually early — historically 1-31 March of Year 5 (most areas close in June), with the test in the first half of September of Year 6 (primary-school test centres first, grammar-school test centres a few days later). Missing the March window means missing the main round entirely, so families considering Bexley should diarise it well ahead.
