Leavers Destinations
“Pupils are successful both in achieving entry to senior schools of their choice and in gaining academic, music, sporting, drama and art scholarships.” ISI Inspectorate
We are proud of each and every one of our pupils and all their achievements during their time with us at Blackheath Prep. On leaving us in Year 6, our pupils successfully gain offers from many of the leading schools in South East London and Kent, including Alleyn’s, Dulwich College, Eltham College, and the Kent and Bexley Grammar schools.
2024 Leaver Results
We are delighted that our Year 6 have achieved another set of outstanding results in their senior school transfer offers for September 2024. Our cohort of 33 pupils collectively received 78 offers from independent senior schools. They received a total of 54 scholarship offers: 20 academic scholarships were awarded, ten Drama, nine Art, five Music, four Sport, two Design Technology and four Head’s Awards. This is an outstanding achievement given that we had a smaller than usual cohort this academic year.
There were 16 entrants to the Bexley and Kent exams combined, with a total of 15 entrants deemed selective, including one pupil who was in the top 180 of the Bexley test (which entitles a guaranteed place at any of the borough’s Grammar schools). 100% of pupils who sat the Kent test and 89% of pupils who sat the Bexley test were deemed selective.

The Eltham College Family of Schools
All our Year 6 pupils receive excellent preparation and support during the 11+ process. One of the benefits of being part of the Eltham College family of schools is a ‘priority places’ process, enabling Blackheath Prep pupils to sit the Eltham College entrance exam in the September of Year 6, ahead of external candidates. If they pass the entrance exam and accept an offer of a place, the pupil can then withdraw from the 11+ process. More information about Eltham College admissions is available here. We fully recognise that some parents may wish to consider a range of senior school options and there is no obligation on our families to send their children to Eltham College if they choose not to. Pupils who wish to consider a wider range of schools, and include Eltham College as one of those schools, will be able to sit the entrance exam in January with external candidates as normal.
