About Leeds and Broomfield Church of England Primary School

Leeds and Broomfield Church of England Primary School is a small village primary in Maidstone, operating below its capacity of 105 with 91 pupils on roll. That undersubscription is deceptive, though: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 33 applications for just 13 places, with 12 of those going to first-preference families. That works out at 2.54 applicants per place, a clear signal that local demand outstrips supply. The school serves a notably less affluent intake than the national average, with 25.3% of pupils eligible for free school meals, compared with the typical primary figure of around 23% nationally. As a Church of England school, it has a religious character, though the data doesn't specify any particular admissions criteria beyond the standard primary phase. The headteacher is Fiona Steer, and the school is mixed, taking children from age 4 to 11.
