About Clare House Primary School

Clare House Primary School in Bromley is a state primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 4 to 11, and it is in high demand. With 406 pupils on roll against a capacity of 420, the school is effectively full. The level of interest from local families is striking: for 60 places available in the 2025/26 admissions round, there were 364 total applications, giving an oversubscription ratio of 6.07. Of those, 95 families put it as their first preference, and 59 of those received offers.
