Biggin Hill Primary School

Westerham, TN16 3LY · Bromley · primary school

Ofsted: Good · 2023 Inspected 3 years ago Mixed Primary
4.1/10 Broadly average

60th of 69 primary schools in Bromley we can score, 76 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.

Narrow the comparison to the 4,278 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.4/10 among them, against 3.5/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 57.0 · 32 40% 1.29

Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Get to know the school

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 57.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 5.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in June 2023. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.4 out of 10 among them, against 3.5 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Lego and Karate clubs, play football, netball, gymnastics and multisports, or take part in Abbott Street Dance, Abbott Movement, Centre Stage Theatre Academy and Rock Steady. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.

Getting in. The school has 461 pupils in a school with 458 places, meaning it is over capacity by 3. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who do not reach the expected standard in maths? What specific support is available for children who arrive late due to the lack of a breakfast club? How does the school manage the competitive nature of admissions for new starters?
