Kidbrooke Park Primary School

About Kidbrooke Park Primary School

Kidbrooke Park Primary School in Greenwich is a mixed state primary for ages 3 to 11 that currently houses 440 pupils against a capacity of 472, meaning it runs close to full but with a small buffer of around 30 spaces. The school serves a notably diverse intake: 44.9% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is well above the national average for primary schools and signals a community with higher-than-average levels of economic disadvantage. Demand is strong — for the 2025/26 reception intake, the school received 108 applications for 51 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.12. Of those, 38 families put Kidbrooke Park as their first preference, and all 38 were offered a place, suggesting that while the school is popular, it is not yet as fiercely contested as some of its local peers. The school has a nursery provision attached, which may help some families secure a place before the main reception round.

Academically, Kidbrooke Park holds a Good rating from Ofsted, confirmed in an ungraded inspection in January 2023 that found the school remains Good. Its most recent graded inspection, from December 2012, also awarded Good overall, with leadership and management rated Good. This represents a clear improvement from the school’s previous graded inspection in October 2010, which rated overall effectiveness as Requires Improvement. The local authority average for Key Stage 2 attainment in Greenwich is 71, and while Kidbrooke Park’s own KS2 results are not provided in this data, the school sits in a competitive local market: the top three primaries in the borough — St Mary’s Catholic, Eltham Church of England, and Our Lady of Grace — all score above 85 on the ranking metric. Of the 62 primary schools in Greenwich, 12 hold an Outstanding rating; the nearest Outstanding school is Wingfield Primary, 1.2 km away.

The school offers a solid range of facilities including an ICT suite, library, music rooms, gymnasium, and a chapel, plus sports such as swimming, tennis, and athletics. Clubs cover coding, gardening, film, choir, and art, giving children plenty of enrichment beyond the core curriculum. For families with children who have additional needs, the SEND provision is broad: it covers specific learning difficulties like dyslexia, moderate learning difficulties, speech and language needs, hearing impairment, physical disability, and autistic spectrum disorder. The school is oversubscribed but not prohibitively so — 108 applications for 51 places means roughly two applicants per place, and first-preference families had a 100% offer rate in the most recent cycle. This makes Kidbrooke Park a realistic option for local families who want a Good-rated, inclusive primary with strong pastoral and SEND support, particularly those living within the catchment area.
