About schools in Bromley

How many schools are there in Bromley?
Bromley has 116 open schools — 80 primary, 19 secondary, 6 special, teaching 57,429 pupils in total.
How many schools in Bromley are rated Good or Outstanding?
92 of the 94 schools holding an Ofsted grade — 98% — are rated Good or Outstanding, including 28 rated Outstanding. That share is measured against graded schools, not all 116: a school inspected since September 2024 has no overall grade at all.
What is the average Academic Performance in Bromley?
6.9 out of 10, averaged across the 105 schools here that can be scored, where 5 is the national average. Academic Performance combines the Ofsted judgement with DfE attainment and is ranked against comparable schools, so it is neither figure on its own.
Why do some Bromley schools have no Ofsted rating?
22 schools in Bromley currently hold no overall grade. Ofsted stopped awarding single-word judgements in September 2024 and moved to a report card of separately graded areas, so schools inspected since then have no overall rating whatever the inspection found. Their profiles show the report card instead.
What does Bromley local authority do?
A local authority is the body responsible for state education in its area — the level most admissions and school-place decisions are made at. Bromley covers 116 schools and sits in the London region. It does not run academies or independent schools directly, though it still coordinates admissions for most of them.
How many pupils in Bromley are eligible for free school meals?
16.2% — 8,530 of 52,701 pupils at the 100 schools that report it. Independent schools file a return with roll and sex only, so they are outside this figure rather than counted as zero.
