Beths Grammar school was established in 1945 and is an all-boys grammar school in Bexley, South-East London. The school has a sixth form which admits girls as well as boys. It became an academy in 2010.

In 1995 the school was awarded Technology College Status. In 2005, they were identified as one of the first High Performing Specialist Schools and, in 2006, took on a second specialism in languages.
