The Bexley Grammar School Sixth Form is the only fully IB Sixth Form in South East London, providing a rare chance to receive a top-notch education right outside your front door. The finest option for today's intelligent, aspirational young people is the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme. To learn why, click here. We are really proud of the destinations our students secure after graduating from our Year 13 programme in addition to our exceptional academic record. 79% of IB students have, on average, gotten their first choice of university over the past three years (and most of those are secured early in July when IB results come out, beating the rush in August). We thrive on our consistent success in securing the best destinations for our students, from prestigious work-based placements to a whole range of universities, including record Oxbridge and Russell group university success for any school in the London Borough of Bexley. In addition to these accomplishments, we are also renowned in our neighbourhood as a school that values each student individually. The results speak for themselves, but you must visit us to experience the lively commotion of the school community that we value. When accessible, open events can be viewed by clicking here.
