Bexley Grammar School is leading State Secondary school in Welling. This is a Selective school for kids age 11 to 18 years. Gender - Mixed
The vision is of a school that gives students the confidence to succeed in whatever they aspire to do in their lives. We want all students to reach their full academic potential in line with the Learner Profile of the IB and with our ethos, expressed in the three words: Intellect, Empathy and Courage.
At Bexley Grammar School they aim to create the best possible educational environment in which each individual student is encouraged to work effectively towards the highest personal standards with opportunities: To develop academic, cultural, social, physical and other talents; To establish sound moral values; To accept increasing responsibility for their own future, for the school, and for the wider communities to which they belong.
Year 7 students study the full range of traditional subjects (Mathematics, English, Science, Geography, History, RS, Computing, Design Technology, Art, Drama, Music, PE) as well as Latin and either French or German and a course in PSHCE which includes Citizenship.
Year 8 students choose a second modern foreign language from a wide range including French, German, Spanish, Italian, Russian, Chinese and Japanese.
Year 9 is a transition year in which the focus is split between creative exploration, depth of study and preparation for GCSE.
Students in years 10 and 11 take GCSEs in Mathematics, English Language, English Literature, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, two Language subjects plus three subjects chosen from a wide range including at least one Humanity. All students are therefore entered for the Ebacc while having two choices from a wide choice of creative subjects; every effort is made to provide students with the options of their choice.
Students in the Sixth Form follow the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP). The IBDP (usually abbreviated to the IB) consists of three subjects taken at Higher level and three subjects at Standard level. Alongside an extended essay, study of the Theory of Knowledge (ToK) and elements of Creativity, Action and Service (CAS), the IB provides a world-renowned set of qualifications which prepare our young people to succeed at university and to flourish in our increasingly global society. Our IB success is at the root of our remarkable record of university and degree-level apprenticeship destinations.

VIRTUAL LEARNING
At BGS we have built on our experiences of the first national lockdown and worked on our contingency planning throughout the autumn term ready for this second phase of Virtual Learning. All students will begin Virtual Learning from Tuesday 5th January. We will be expecting all students to follow their school timetables each day from home. Work will be scheduled for release to students via their Google Classrooms in each subject at the start of their timetabled lesson each day. Students can expect to have a range of interactions with their teachers during their lessons to support their Virtual Learning, including email, live Google Meets (like Zoom), recorded instructions and Assignments set in Google Classroom.
