About Brookland Church of England Primary School

Parents considering Brookland Church of England Primary School will find a small, sought-after setting. In the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 25 applications for just 13 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1. 92, meaning nearly two families applied for every spot. All 13 first-preference applicants were offered a place, which suggests that for those who live close enough or meet the Church of England criteria, it is a realistic choice. The school is led by headteacher Martin Hacker and currently has 97 pupils on roll, just below its capacity of 105. While the Department for Education does not publish a parent-view survey for this school, the high demand for places is a practical signal of local confidence. The school also supports a notable proportion of disadvantaged pupils, with 27. 8 per cent eligible for free school meals, which is above the national average for primary schools.
