About Alexandra Infant School

Alexandra Infant School is a state primary in Bromley that serves children from age five to seven, and its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023 rated it Good overall. That puts it in line with the majority of Bromley’s 76 primary schools, though the borough has 23 rated Outstanding. The school’s early years provision and leadership and management were both judged Good, while its previous inspection in 2011 had awarded it Outstanding across the board. On the key headline metric for this age group, the local authority average for Key Stage 2 attainment sits at 69, but because Alexandra Infant School only covers Reception to Year 2, it does not participate in KS2 SATs, so no direct comparison is possible. What stands out instead is the sheer demand for places: the school received 293 applications for just 56 spots in the 2025/26 intake, with 92 first-preference applications and only 54 offers made. That oversubscription ratio of 5.23 to one tells you this is a school local families clearly want to get into.
