About Oak Lodge Primary School

Oak Lodge Primary School in Bromley is a mixed state primary for ages 2 to 11, currently home to 541 pupils against a capacity of 630. That leaves some physical headroom, but demand tells a different story: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 209 applications for just 58 places, with 58 first-preference applications alone. That works out at 3.6 applications per place, and the school is officially oversubscribed. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 10.5%, which is below the national average for primary schools and suggests a relatively advantaged intake compared with many London primaries. The school is non-denominational and led by headteacher Georgina Baron, who took over a school that has been rated Good by Ofsted in its most recent graded inspection.
