About Leesons Primary School

Leesons Primary School sits at the very bottom of Bromley’s primary school rankings, a stark contrast to the local authority average. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, just 21% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a Bromley average of 69%. That gap of 48 percentage points is the widest in the borough, placing Leesons 69th out of 69 primary schools in the LA. The school’s national percentile ranking of 99% means it falls within the bottom 1% of all primary schools in England on this measure. These headline figures are sobering, but they don’t tell the whole story. The school serves a community where 42.2% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, more than double the national average, and this context matters when interpreting raw attainment data.
