Hi everyone, just thought I should add that my daughter got 226 last year and got into Bexley grammar. We live outside the borough so there is still hope especially if top 180s gI o to Kent nd Bromley. Well done to all. Townley normally takes all that applies nd may have 2 or 3 places for those that just missed the cut off.

Thanks Mich- that's reassuring. Wonder how that works- maybe Townley wasn't popular last year. Good luck everyone!

Daughter passed with 231 score. We live in the Bexley catchment area. Logged in at Bluewater not sure what the other people thought as I was crying my eyes out. Only just got the score when I came home. Very proud mummy. Well done to all the children that took the test, they all deserve a pat on the back So much pressure for children so young.

Rachdougl, many congrats to your DD. I was the same last year but as we received the results by post only at least no one else saw me sobbing in the kitchen :D !

You might be okay if Bexley measures straight-line distance rather than 'safe walking route'...

Please don't despair if out of catchment and not top 180. Last year there was a lot of movement after allocation day. Boys over 8 miles got offered BETHS (in August and even Sep). Girls, as far as I know, got offered Towley and they lived more than 6.5 miles away. Just don't expect it to be in March. Good luck and patience!

Just got back from work and saw the letter. DS got a score of 262. The letter says he is guaranteed a place.

This result has definitely raised some hopes for Latymer.

It's a grammar school in the London Borough of Enfield :)
