Ofsted report card · 2026 Lowest area: Expected standard Mixed Primary
7.8/10 Above average

18th 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 8.4/10 against 1,939 of them, against 7.1/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

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, 85.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 4.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2026. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (8.4 out of 10 against similar schools, 7.1 out of 10 against all schools).

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Jaime's Gymnastics, PerformeR, Rocksteady, and Spectacular Science clubs, or play for Charlton Athletic. There is no breakfast or after-school club.

Getting in. The school has 427 pupils in a capacity of 436, leaving 9 spare places. This means the school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who arrive without a breakfast club? What specific steps are taken to help the 4.0% of pupils aiming for the higher standard? How does the academy manage the competitive nature of its remaining 9 places?
