About Farnborough Primary School

Farnborough Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 161 applications for just 28 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 5.75 to one. Of those applications, 23 were first-preference choices, and all 23 received an offer. This level of demand suggests a strong reputation among parents in the Bromley area. The school is currently full, operating at its capacity of 210 pupils. While the Department for Education does not publish a specific parent recommendation percentage for this school, the high application numbers and low proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals (7.1%) paint a picture of a school that is well-regarded by its community and draws from a relatively advantaged intake.
