Midfield Primary School
Orpington, BR5 3EG · Bromley · primary school
28th 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 — 6.7/10 against 2,900 of them, against 6.0/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 61.0 · 41 | 40% | 1.66 |
| Ofsted | 96 | 35% | 3.37 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 18.0 · 89 | 25% | 2.23 |
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, 61.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 18.0%. Ofsted rated the school Outstanding in May 2024. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (6.7 out of 10 against similar schools, 6.0 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the School Choir, receive small group instrumental tuition, attend Forest School, and go swimming. Breakfast and after-school clubs are available for wraparound care.
Getting in. There are 474 pupils in a school with 420 places, meaning it is over capacity by 54. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. With 54 more pupils than places, how does the school manage class sizes and individual attention? Since the expected standard result is below the national median, what specific strategies are used to support pupils who need extra help? How do the breakfast and after-school clubs integrate with the main curriculum?
