Ofsted: Good · 2025 Inspected 1 year ago Mixed Primary
6.4/10 Broadly average

37th 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 4,112 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.3/10 among them, against 7.0/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
