Welcome to the OBA Website
In 2025 Bexley Grammar School turns 70. -A Platinum Jubilee !!
We would like to help the school celebrate this event.
in 1979, we made a big effort to catch up news of Old Bexleians from the first 25 years. Later, Robin Ackerley wrote his splendid history of the school ( see elsewhere on this site) . In the same spirit we’d like 2025 to be memorable.
The school have asked us if we can put out an appeal for knowledge of Old Bexleians. BGS would love to hear news of all Old Bexleians and information can be posted to this site ( Ex- Pupils Page- see below for access clue).
Over 70 years there will have been Old Bexleians who have been awarded public honours by Queen and King . There will have been others in the public eye in politics, sport, business the Arts. We know some but would like to know more. If you can help please contact Jacqui Snelling at the email on this page
Membership of the Old Bexleians Association is free to any ex-pupil or ex-staff member of Bexley Grammar School.
350 OBs have already signed up as users. We hope many more sign up and post profiles and photos.

For privacy reasons we also have a second level password for the ex pupils’, ex-staff, pictures and OBA blog pages. It will change from time to time but will always be one of the original first four BGS houses. The current password is C******
You can also join the Alumni Facebook group. It’s a great OBA resource. Over 2,500 Old Bexleians are signed up to the facebook page. Members regularly post old photos from their time at school and sometimes video clips.. It’s a closed group, administered at the school and you need to be a facebook member.
Jacqui Snelling (Weller) is the OBA Secretary. She is an ex-pupil ( ’74 entry) and a member of staff at the school. You can email Jacqui at snelling_j@bexleygs.co.uk.
