Ofsted: Outstanding · 2024 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Primary
8.9/10 Well above average

9th 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.

Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 8.9/10 against 4,092 of them, against 8.5/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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
MeasurePercentileWeightAdds
Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 78.0 · 84 40% 3.36
Ofsted 96 35% 3.37
Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 16.0 · 85 25% 2.13

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%. 16.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Outstanding in May 2024. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (8.9 out of 10 against similar schools, 8.5 out of 10 against all schools).

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Book Club, Coding, Musical Theatre, Dance, Taekwondo, Chess, Baking, and football teams. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.

Getting in. The school has 391 pupils in a capacity of 420, leaving 29 spare places. This means the school has a little room, but is fairly full.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who arrive without a breakfast club? What specific support is available for the 16.0% who reach the higher standard? How does the school manage the transition for new starters given the current pupil numbers?
