Sixth Form Societies
Extra-Curricular Opportunities
There are a variety of opportunities available to the sixth form at Bexley Grammar School. All students are welcomed and encouraged to be part of the school community. Many departments run clubs where students can participate and perform; some departments ask sixth form students to take a leading role in helping younger students. If there isn’t anything you fancy, we are always happy to try to accommodate, or, we encourage sixth form students to take lead roles in creating new and exciting opportunities for students within BGS. All of the below (and any new clubs) are a great way to earn CAS hours.
Below Joshua and Chloe's videos is a table of our many clubs and societies. Many of them are student-led. If you are interested in creating one, talk to your form tutor in September.
