Open Events 2025
We are delighted to welcome you to bexley grammar!
Our Open Mornings provide prospective parents /carers and children with the opportunity to visit Bexley Grammar School and attend a talk by the Headteacher and students. Guided by our student ambassadors, you'll tour the school and experience first hand the friendly atmosphere that visitors so often remark upon, an enduring characteristic that is an intrinsic part of our thriving, supportive community.
We hope your visit is informative, enjoyable and gives you a sense of what makes us unique. In the meantime, please explore our website and view the video prospectus linked to at the top of this page; this wonderful production was curated by a former student and captures the essence of BGS perfectly.
