About Marian Vian Primary School
Marian Vian Primary School is a popular choice among Bromley families, and the numbers back that up. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 289 applications for just 90 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.21. Of those 91 first-preference applications, 83 were offered a place, meaning roughly nine in ten families who put it top got in. The school is led by headteacher Ian Redgrave and is a mixed, non-religious state primary for children aged 4 to 11. It currently has 623 pupils on roll, just shy of its 630 capacity, and 17.7 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals. In its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, the school was rated Good overall, with Good marks for both leadership and management and the quality of education. Its previous graded inspection, back in 2012, had rated it Outstanding, so the 2023 ungraded inspection confirmed it remains Good.
