If your child is currently in Year 5 and you are planning to apply for a Year 7 place at a Bexley or Kent grammar school, you will need to register your child for the selection tests for these areas.  Please note that late registrations will not be accepted (there are no exceptions).  The information provided below gives further details on how to register your child to sit the selection tests:
