About Brabourne Church of England Primary School

Brabourne Church of England Primary School is a small, mixed state primary for children aged 5 to 11, and it is running at full capacity with exactly 105 pupils on roll. The school is oversubscribed for the 2025/26 intake, receiving 38 applications for just 11 places, with 10 of those offers going to first-preference families. That gives an oversubscription ratio of 3.45, a clear signal of local demand. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 4.8%, which is notably low compared with the national average and suggests a relatively affluent intake. As a Church of England school in Ashford, Kent, it serves a community where competition for places is fierce, and the school’s popularity is reflected in the fact that only a fraction of applicants can be accommodated. This is a school that families actively seek out, and its small size means it retains a close-knit feel.
