We’re delighted to share our exceptional Year 6 senior school transfer results for the 2025/26 academic year.

115 places were offered to our pupils from the leading independent and selective maintained schools in London and Kent, including Eltham College, Alleyn’s, Dulwich College, City of London schools, and the Kent and Bexley Grammar schools. Even more importantly, every single child once again was awarded a place at one of their chosen senior schools, reinforcing the outstanding academic, pastoral, and co-curricular preparation our pupils receive.

Scholarships offers 2026

An incredible 87 scholarships were awarded across a wide range of disciplines from the leading independent schools in London and Kent, and for the second year running, over 70% of the year group secured one or more scholarships – a phenomenal 67% increase compared to five years ago.

Grammar School places

There were 34 entrants to the Bexley and Kent exams combined, with a total of 29 entrants deemed selective. 1 entrant to the Bexley exams achieved a top 180 score, providing them with a guaranteed place at the Grammar school of their choice in the borough. 10 Grammar school places were offered.

A school where every child truly shines

The outstanding 11+ and senior school results our pupils achieve each year is a testament to their hard work and the benefits of the rich and broad curriculum offered to our pupils, from the Nursery through to Year 6. We’re very proud of each and every one of our pupils and all their achievements during their time with us at Blackheath Prep

The Eltham College Family of Schools

All our Year 6 pupils receive excellent preparation and support during the 11+ process, enabling each child to prepare for the senior schools that are best suited to them. One of the benefits of being part of the Eltham College family of schools is that families choosing Eltham College as their school of choice are offered a priority application process. This enables 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.

“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
