How many spaces in Bexley grammar schools?

With their being so few grammar schools in England, competition for places is tough. In Bexley there are four grammar schools (Beths, Bexley, Chislehurst & Sidcup and Townley). Between them there are circa 800 places available for year 7 children. Six thousand four-hundred and twenty-four children sat the Bexley 11+ in 2019; of those children 1,544 achieved selective status. In 2020 that figure stood at 5,760 children (presumably lower than the previous year because of COVID-19) and of those children 1,508 were deemed selective.

This equates to about every one in seven getting a place in a Bexley grammar school. However, as Townley Grammar School (girls) and Beth's Grammar School (boys) are single-sex, the number of grammar school places available to any individual child are, in actuality, even less favourable than one in seven.
