    Year 7 Netball

    This term, Year 7 students have shown incredible enthusiasm and dedication to netball at Bexley Grammar School. Weekly training sessions have been buzzing with energy, with an impressive number of students attending regularly to hone their skills and work as a team. Their hard work has paid off in matches, where they’ve displayed excellent gameplay, teamwork, and sportsmanship, achieving commendable results against local schools.

    Special recognition goes to our Players of the Term who have stood out for their outstanding effort, commitment, and positive attitude throughout the season.

    Players of the term

    Well done to all involved – we can’t wait to see how you continue to develop next term! They finished this term with a Christmas tournament.

    Fabulous friendly festive fun! The winners were the reindeers, closely followed by the puddings! A fantastic way to end the term. Thank you for your commitment. A massive thanks to the Year 9 leaders for assisting working on their DOFE every week.

    Badminton

    Year 9, 10, 11 Badminton Club sees a spread of year groups. Year 9, 10, 11 girls playing against Dartford Grammar with Key Stage 4 becoming victorious!

    Thank you to all who have attended badminton this term that sees KS4 Badminton finish for this year. We welcome KS3 students to join us after Christmas, 7.45am in the Sports Hall, Year 8 every week A, Year 7 every week B.

    Swimming

    Our swimming teams have attended galas at Colfe’s school this term. Our senior team had a superb gala in November, with the girls finishing 3rd and the boys being crowned champions. The team finished 2nd overall. There were some fantastic performances, with BGS winning 15 of the 35 races.

    Running Club

    Every Friday, Week B at 7.45am
    Around Bexley Grammar School, there are many parks and green areas. We are proud to have a running club, where anyone of any ability can run in Danson Park and enjoy the great scenery, landscape, and also some friendly faces from the school! We meet near the sports hall, then we all head off to Danson Park, where we go on our run. Please join the running club. It is a fun way to start your day and have a relaxing run.

    Scott Morris, Year 7

    Running club takes place every Friday, Week B in Danson Park, and is a fun way to start your day. We take a relaxed run around the park, admiring the scenery (and the baby ducklings if we’re lucky!). Everyone can come, you don’t need to be a brilliant runner!

    Caitlin Mackintosh, Year 8

    Girls' Football

    We’ve been lucky to have Charlton Academy working alongside this group of students with more fixtures to look forward to in 2025.

    Year 8 Football

    The Year 8 squad have enjoyed their first season playing 11 a-side.  There have been some great goals scored alongside some impressive results, particularly the 9-0 win over Cleeve Park and the 6-3 victory against Harris Falconwood. 

    The Captain has been rotated and many of the squad have stepped up and taken their turn at leading the side.  There is a great spirit within the team which will definitely prove a good foundation to build on.  I want to thank those players who are not always in the squad but have contributed so importantly this season. 

    Representing BGS is something that you should all be very proud of!  Keep up the great work Year 8!

    Rugby

    Our rugby teams have enjoyed a busy term, and have produced some fantastic performances in their games.  The highlights for me are always the progress of new players. With a limited rugby pedigree, it’s always a real pleasure to see our players grow in confidence and understanding over the course of training and matches. There’s a lot to learn in rugby, and with our fixtures starting early, some players can feel a bit unprepared, but they quickly acclimatise and do really well.

    With that in mind, our rising stars for rugby this term have been:

    Year 7 - Pavel Jankulowski, Jason Rai

    Year 8 - Kevin Taflaj, Aarush Upadhye, Jean-Andre Koidjo

    Year 9 - Daniel Moss, Dev Prasadh

    Year 10 - Alex Dimitrov, Joshua Chukwu-Ike

    Performance highlights would include:

    • The Year 7s won their first ever game, and clinging on for a win against Cleeve Park.
    • Year 8s finally getting a win in the gloom at Bexleyheath Academy.
    • The Year 9 squad beat both Langley Park and Wilmington GS with a small squad due to injuries.
    • The Year 10s produced a fantastic performance to beat a very strong and experienced Buller’s Wood Boys' team.

    The Year 10 rugby team lost a thriller to Bexleyheath Academy 24-22 last week, in a game characterised by some awesome tackling on both sides. Sometimes you just get beaten in sport. Fair play to BA.

    Mr Lines, Head of PE

    The Year 8 rugby team spent the afternoon in the mud at St Olave’s on Monday, playing 3 other schools. Lots of good performances, but defeats in the end.

    Kevin did well to score 4 tries!

    The Year 7 rugby team narrowly won a thriller against Cleeve Park 40-35 on Monday afternoon.

    It was great to see so many tries.

    Bexley Grammar 3-3 Cleeve Park

    The Year 7s braved the cold rain to earn a well-earned 3-3 draw against Cleeve Park, equalising in dramatic fashion from the penalty spot in the dying moments of the game. Onyi was a stand-out figure, scoring a hatrick and using his pace to cause havoc in their defence. The team played with positivity despite losing a half-time lead, and pushed hard as the balance repeatedly changed. Despite conceding 3 goals, the defensive line worked hard, with Neev making some good interceptions, helping recycle the ball and start counter-attacks. Pavel made a number of excellent saves, managing to bravely stop a goal-bound shot with his face; the forwards working hard to hold the ball and turn their opponents.

    Overall, whilst the team did not win, they picked up a valuable point, and improved as a unit, making progress and developing a better understanding of their roles. As the season progresses, the team will build on this performance, drawing character from their late equaliser.  

    Harry Baldwin, Year 7

    BGS v Cleeve Park

    An amazing performance by the Year 8 football team against Cleeve Park last week. The game finished 9-0, and it was a real squad performance with everybody contributing and being selfless to their teammates!! 

    There were some incredible goals scored, so it was a shame the Match of the Day cameras were not around to record them.

    The Year 8 football team also had a game on Monday this week, away to Harris Falconwood. Once again, the players demonstrated a real team ethos and worked extremely hard. BGS conceded a goal early on in the match but went on to win 6-3. Just the casual fifteen (15) goals scored across the last couple of games.

    Another strong battling performance, this time in cold, windy conditions. We're very proud of all the players involved. Well done!

    Mr Mackle, PE Department

    Girls Badminton 

    Great to see the girls in action against Dartford Grammar for the sport they love to play. The girls smashed it this evening - BGS were overall winners in the Key stage 4 competition with the Year 9s Shriya and Kimran winning all the games in the Year 9 competition. A fantastic collaborative team effort with superb sportsmanship - well done!

    Year 7 & 8 girls to follow in the new year…

    Swimming

    Our senior swim team had a superb gala at Colfe’s on Tuesday. The girls finished 3rd, whilst the boys finished as winners. The combined team finished 2nd overall. There were some fantastic performances, with BGS winning 15 of the 35 races.

    Year 7 Netball v St Catherine's

    With a win and a loss (by just 2 goals) this evening for the Year 7s. Over 30 different girls have now represented the school in netball so far this season. Impressive work! Improvements are being shown week after week - determination and commitment at its best!

    Players of the match went to Amayah for her defensive skills and Shuvi for superb footwork and spacing around the centre court. We have our Christmas tournament to look forward to in a few weeks' time.

    Thanks to our Year 9s for umpiring this evening to help towards their DofE programme.

    Mrs Kemp

    We’d like to say a huge thank you to a parent who gave us an incredibly generous donation, which has enabled us to replace a number of pieces of equipment, and also to kit out our T20 cricket squads with new playing shirts. We think they look great! We’d still like to get some netball dresses and a new football kit, so if anyone else would like to contribute to the purchases, please email Mr Lines any time.

    Many thanks

    Senior Netball   

    Our first and second netball teams played Gravesend Grammar Sixth Form on Wednesday. With a mix of Years 10-13 gracing the court, the teams had to adapt to lots of new combinations. The first team had a hard fought game, but managed to pull away in the last quarter, winning 26-20. Ayaka was voted as player of the match for her dynamic play and feeds into the shooters. Our second team managed to secure a 13-4 win and grew in confidence as the game progressed. Caitlin was voted as player of the match for her great work in attack.

    A fantastic afternoon of netball! Well done all.

    Year 7 Football ~ North Kent Cup

    Year 7 played against Harris Falconwood in the North Kent Cup on Wednesday. It was a tough match, but I think the boys did their best against a good team. Harris worked well together and were a very good team. Although at times it seemed impossible, Bexley encouraged each other to keep their heads up and play to the whistle.

    We caused many problems for the other team and Jayden scored a good goal in the second half after good team play, but unfortunately we couldn’t triumph over them as Harris was too strong. It was a great match and the boys will remember it as a brilliant display of skill and talent.

    Neev Chaganti, Year 7

    Year 7 Rugby

    The Year 7 rugby team played really well after a slow start against Hurstmere. After conceding 4 early tries, the boys scored some nice tries themselves in a game that finished 30-15 to Hurstmere.

    Lots of progress.

    Mr Lines, Head of PE

    Girls Football Years 8 & 9
    A friendly football game against HACA went 1-0 down at half-time because of a penalty. Hazel’s powerful strike at goal clinched a draw in the second half after dominating the game. A good, even balanced game with the Player of the Match going to Vania Obele. 
    Girls Football Year 7
    At the same time, the Year 7s were in action for their first away game. The first half remained goalless, but there were plenty of targets at the goal. We had superb defending with our Year 7s securing their first win of the season - Patricia assisting Neji’s strike on goal in the last 5 minutes. Excellent display of sportsmanship. Well done to everyone.
     
    A special mention to Emilia Couchman voted as oppositions player of the match.

    Year 7 netball - a round up of the term!

    A busy term with the Year 7 netballers, experiencing fixtures against other schools whilst learning the game. With well-attended weekly training sessions, fantastic commitment from the students and more games to look forward to next term.

    Good home crowd support and great help from the Year 9 girls working towards their CAS hours. 

    Year 7 v Trinity
    The Year 7 v Trinity match followed after training, narrowly avoiding a downpour! With another two teams in action, learning the rules of the game and watching their confidence grow.  It's lovely to see excellent sportsmanship from both teams.
