On Tuesday 23rd January, we were delighted to welcome students and teachers from Dartford Boys Grammar, Beths and Townley Grammar to compete in the ‘Inter School Spelling Bee Final’.

All Year 7 and Year 9 (MFL2) students competed in ‘in class Spelling Bee heats’ in the lead up to Christmas or just after and winners in each group were invited to compete against the other schools. Bexley Grammar students did an amazing job competing in French, German, Spanish, Italian, Japanese and Chinese - the standard of the competition was incredibly high, and they made themselves and the school proud!

Caitlin G and Rowan B both finished in second place (Italian and Japanese) with winner Yu Xuan winning the Mandarin spell off correctly spelling an incredible 26 words in 2 minutes!

Well done to all our amazing participants:

Year 7: Dilinna E, Saviru A, Areeb A, Freya F, Krista T, Ethan E, Aysu B.

Year 9: Vidhya B, Maya S, Tianming X, Cedric M, Sophie A, Millie W, Caitlin G, Rowan B, Rayon M, Yu Xuan O, Edwin S, Sophia L.
