About Churchfields Primary School

Churchfields Primary School in Bromley is clearly a popular choice among local families, and the numbers back that up. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 262 applications for just 59 places, giving it an oversubscription ratio of 4.44. Of those applications, 56 were first-preference choices, and 53 families received offers, so the vast majority of successful applicants had it as their top pick. That kind of demand suggests parents are confident in what the school offers. While the Department for Education’s Parent View data isn’t included here, the sheer volume of applications relative to places is a strong signal in itself. The school is led by headteacher Sarah Atherton and caters for children aged 3 to 11, with nursery provision available. It’s a mixed, non-religious state primary with no boarding or sixth form.
