Entry requirements
Townley Grammar School is a selective girls? grammar school in Bexley. The live Year 7 admissions page states that Year 7 applications are coordinated by the London Borough of Bexley and that, if places remain after all girls deemed selective by Bexley have been offered places, reserve-list offers are made in descending order of aggregate Bexley Selection Test score.
Exam dates and admissions evidence
The live Open Events 2026 page says the Year 7 Open Evening for current Year 5 students for entry in 2027 is on Wednesday 24 June 2026 from 5.00pm to 8.30pm, with October open mornings to be confirmed later. In this pass, the school?s current Year 7 admissions page still surfaced older admissions-cycle text, so 2027 registration and Bexley test dates were not written from the school site.
