Clare House Primary School
Beckenham, BR3 6PY · Bromley · primary school
13th 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 2,905 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.2/10 among them, against 8.2/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 78.0 · 84 | 40% | 3.36 |
| Ofsted | 96 | 35% | 3.37 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 13.0 · 78 | 25% | 1.94 |
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, 78.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 13.0%. Ofsted rated the school Outstanding in November 2024. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.2 out of 10 among them, against 8.2 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join clubs including Brain Teaser, Chaos Art, Chess, LAMDA Acting, JJ Dance, Karate, Munchkins, and Wildlife Ranger. Sports options cover lacrosse, girls' football, hockey, skating, and basketball. Music lessons are available for flute, cello, clarinet, guitar, violin, piano, and brass instruments. An after-school club operates, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 406 pupils in a capacity of 420, leaving 14 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the competitive entry process for the remaining 14 places? What support is available for pupils who do not reach the higher standard in core subjects? How does the after-school club integrate with the wider curriculum?
