About Bromstone Primary School, Broadstairs

Ofsted's Parent View survey, completed by 55 families during the 2024-25 period, shows that 73% would recommend Bromstone Primary School to other parents. That's a solid majority, though it leaves over a quarter who wouldn't. The school is clearly popular in the area: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 143 applications for just 58 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2. 47. Of those, 53 first-preference families were offered a spot. Looking at the survey detail, 85% of respondents agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy, and 80% felt their child does well. However, the picture is more mixed on communication: only 66% agreed the school lets them know how their child is doing, and 27% disagreed that concerns are dealt with properly. For SEND support, 59% agreed the school provides the right help, but 32% disagreed — a significant minority to be aware of.
