About Chelsfield Primary School

Chelsfield Primary School is a small state primary in Bromley that parents clearly rate highly, with 82% of respondents to the most recent Parent View survey saying they would recommend it to other families. That confidence is backed up by a strong sense of safety and happiness: 64% of parents strongly agreed that their child feels safe, and 45% strongly agreed their child is happy. The school is also extremely popular locally — for the 2025/26 intake, it received 47 applications for just 9 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 5.22 to one. All nine first-preference applicants were offered a place, but the numbers show demand far outstrips supply. The school is rated Good by Ofsted following its most recent graded inspection in December 2024, with all assessed categories — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and early years provision — all judged Good. Headteacher Abigail Carter leads a school with 97 pupils on roll, well within its capacity of 109.
