About Holy Innocents Catholic Primary School

Holy Innocents Catholic Primary School in Bromley was rated Good in its most recent graded Ofsted inspection in 2017, and an ungraded inspection in 2023 confirmed the school remains Good. This marks a clear improvement from its previous graded inspection in 2013, when overall effectiveness was judged to require improvement. The most telling academic metric comes from the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results: 70% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, just above the Bromley local authority average of 69%. While this places the school 36th out of 69 primary schools in the borough, it is a solid, middle-of-the-pack performance. The school’s ranking score of 70 puts it in the top 50% nationally, and it sits within the top 50 tier of its ranking metric.
