Leavers Destinations
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.
2025 Senior School Leaver Results
We are delighted to share this year’s exceptional Year 6 senior school transfer results, with 149 offers being made from the leading independent and selective maintained schools in London and Kent. An incredible 72 scholarships have been awarded across a wide range of disciplines, with over 70% of the year group securing one or more scholarships – a phenomenal 67% increase compared to four years ago. Even more importantly, every single child has once again been awarded a place at one of their chosen senior schools, reinforcing the outstanding academic, pastoral, and co-curricular preparation all our pupils receive at Blackheath Prep.

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.
“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
