About Harris Primary Academy Kent House

Harris Primary Academy Kent House is a mixed state primary in Bromley that currently educates 410 pupils against a capacity of 472, meaning it is not yet full but operates at a healthy occupancy level. The school serves a notably diverse intake: 30.5% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is significantly above the national average for primary schools and suggests the academy draws from a catchment with higher-than-average levels of disadvantage. Demand for places is exceptionally strong. For the 2025/26 reception intake, the school received 261 applications for just 60 places, an oversubscription ratio of 4.35 to one. Of those, 49 families put it as their first preference, and 42 received offers — so roughly 86% of first-preference applicants were successful. This level of competition places it among the most sought-after primaries in Bromley, and parents should be aware that securing a place is far from guaranteed unless they live very close to the school gates.
