Oaklands Primary Academy

About Oaklands Primary Academy

Oaklands Primary Academy is a state primary in Bromley that parents clearly want to get into. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 52 applications for just 27 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.93. Of those, 25 families put it as their first preference, and all 25 were offered a spot. That level of demand suggests a strong local reputation, even though the school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, in February 2024, rated it Requires Improvement across the board — including overall effectiveness, behaviour and attitudes, leadership, and early years provision. That’s a drop from its previous Good rating in 2018, so it’s worth noting the change. The school has a nursery provision and takes children from age 2 to 11, with a current roll of 448 pupils against a capacity of 630, meaning there is still some room to grow.
