About Gordonbrock Primary School

If you're a parent in Lewisham weighing up primary options, the numbers from Gordonbrock Primary School's most recent Parent View survey are striking. Out of 151 respondents, a remarkable 97% said they would recommend the school to other parents. That level of endorsement is backed up by the detail: 96% of parents strongly agreed or agreed that their child is happy at the school, and 95% felt their child is safe. The school is clearly in high demand — for the 2025/26 reception intake, there were 327 applications for 90 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.63. Of those, 132 were first-preference applications, and all 90 places went to first-preference families. It's a school that parents actively choose, and the overwhelming majority seem glad they did.
