A shared 11+ entrance exam used by 4 grammar schools, administered by GL Assessment, testing English, Mathematics, Reasoning. Three multiple-choice papers administered by GL Assessment. Same format as Kent Test (3 × 50 min). Bexley applies its own qualifying score threshold. Very limited information available as most admissions pages returned 'Page not found' errors. Only appeals information and some sixth form enrichment details were accessible.
