All children attending Bexley Primary Schools will automatically be included in the testing process except those attending Roman Catholic Primary Schools and the primary section of the Business Academy, in which case, you will need to let the Head Teacher of these schools know at the start of the Autumn term if you wish your child to take the test.
If you do not wish your child to take the tests, you should inform the Head Teacher of his/her primary school in writing. In this event your child will not be eligible for a place in a selective school. If you withdraw your child from the selection tests your child will still take the English and Mathematics tests so that they are included on your child’s records to monitor his/her progress.
