About Crofton Junior School

Crofton Junior School is a state primary for children aged 7 to 11 in the London borough of Bromley, and it is operating at near-full capacity with 715 pupils against a school capacity of 720. That tight fit suggests strong local demand, though the school does not publish specific admissions oversubscription data. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 7.4%, which is notably lower than the national average for primary schools and points to a relatively affluent intake. The school has no religious character and is mixed gender, drawing from a broad catchment. Its headteacher is Susie Sargent. The school shares a site with Crofton Infant School, which is also rated Outstanding and sits just 0.2 km away, creating a natural feeder relationship for families looking for continuity through the primary years.
